He's One

So, after a minor diversion to discuss some duckies, I had one more tale to tell about our Thanksgiving before we moved on to December.  On the Saturday before we headed back up to Durham, we headed over to the Henault family house for a first birthday celebration for little cousin Walker.  It's amazing that he was born just a year ago at around 4 pounds.  Now, he's a healthy chubby growing baby boy with a beautiful smile and the big Davis head and brains to match.

We were happy to head over there and celebrate on this wonderful occasion and get a chance to get together with the whole family again.  We talked, we ate, we watched the birthday boy enjoy his first birthday cake, and watched him open presents. (We'll, more accurately, he watched while the big boys ripped the paper off for him.)

Here's a few pictures of the big day...We can tell that Evan and Ben are going to get Walker into all sorts of trouble as they get older!
