It's Fun Turning 1

Today we celebrated J's birthday with a big party at my mom and dad's house.  I have been looking forward to this day for a long time and it did not disappoint.  It's been a really rewarding year that has been a lot of hard work and blessed our lives more than we could have ever imagined.  This little guy has taken over our hearts.  Happy Birthday my sweet boy!

Getting ready for the party was probably as much fun as the party itself.  Scott gave me a Cricut for Christmas and as you can see, I went a little crazy!

Birthday Boy

J didn't know what to do with the giant cake placed in front of him.  I was dying for him to dive into the cake and get messy but that was the last thing he wanted.  Instead of diving in, he hand-picked all of the sprinkle stars on the top and ate them one by one.  Then he cried because his hands were dirty.

Distinguished Guests

J loves both of his Grandma's!  Grandma O. and Aunt Jamie drove all the way from Santa Barbara just to come to his birthday party.  He is a pretty lucky little boy to have such wonderful people in his life.  Aunt Jamie leaves for her mission in one month, we sure will miss her!

J and his friends loved his new toys! Not to mention the sweet kicks he scored!

C and J didn't totally appreciate the hats I made for them, but this picture was very important, it will hang on their dorm room wall one day!

It was a great day filled with animal crackers, no afternoon nap and extreme attention.  There was only one way to end a day like that....a hot bubble bath.

Happy Birthday Boo Boo!
