Birthdays give me a rash!

Mr. Owen is a year old. The kid knows how to party. We started off with a trip to the doctor for an ear infection and ended up also seeing his sweet little face swell up and his ears turn purple. He had the hives most likely because of a virus. By the time we actually saw the doctor they had pretty much gone away.
My mom flew in from Oregon for less than 48 hours and spent all of those hours wishing she would have gotten some Airborne at Costco before she came. Lucy and Mommy are also sick.
Due to the amount of germs in our house we decided to cancel the little party planned for our little man. I am sure his friends were really disappointed.

We didn't give up all the way. He still had a good time shoving cake in his mouth and opening presents. Lucy really liked his presents so we'll see if he ever gets full ownership.
