First Birthday


Yesterday was Eli's first birthday
We celebrated at our house with a few family and friends
  

I had so much fun decorating 
I might do a little how to post on the fabric star banner 
I was so easy to make
You can see here Eli is not his real name :)


Michael had been sick all week so we thought we might have to cancel
Luckily on Saturday he was finally starting to feel better so we went ahead as planed
It was one of the most high stress weeks around here
But I am glad we were still able to pull it together   


The Birthday boy could have cared less though
The second guest started to arrive
He passed out in his highchair 
And sleep through the first half of his party  


I was so excited for him to have his first piece of cake
I had visions of him digging in and smooching it all over his face
But he was not a fan
I dipped his finger in the frosting
Hoping the sweetness would change his mind 
But the just picked up the cupcake and through it on the floor 
Oh well
He had strawberries instead


See his less then excited face 



On this day last year I had no idea my little boy was being born
It would be a few more days before we met 
But I am ever so thankful he is here 
And we shared the last year as a family 
I can't wait to see whats in store for him

WE ARE ONE

Spring is Almost Here!



We have crocuses coming up in the backyard
It was warm enough today to not wear a jacket 
I am sure we still have a few more cool days ahead of us
But I think I can officially say its almost Spring 




I am not a winter person
I like to be outside as much as possible  
So days like this make me really happy




And give me hope that spring is just around the corner
