Like all true debutantes, Arden had to celebrate her birthday with a little night life. And so we headed over to Boondock's Fun Center for some knock-down drag-out birthday-bashing good times.

We kicked it off with some presents, cake, and cousin love.


Arden tolerated the pink cake mommy made for her, but she ravaged her way into Sam's chocolate cake that Ali brought for everyone. I guess its in the genes.

We had a ball with the Rose's, the Searle's, and Corie and her kids. We were so excited to have Corie, McKinley, Gunner, and Regan in town to join the party!



Sam and McKinley spent a good hour just chattin it up in the go-carts.

Cami and Regan workin the slots.

Arden's first game of Whack-a-mole - and it was just her size.

Gunner, Mitch, Dallin, McKinley, Max, Sam, and Scott prepping for some laser-tag.

Whewwww! And we're done. What a day. Good thing this only happens once a year. Needless to say, Arden slept in the next day until 9 a.m. What's that saying? Play hard, sleep hard. Well anyway, thanks so much for the great birthday everyone! Being 1 is so cool!
