1st Birthday

We had a Birthday Party tonight! I love our family, we know how to throw a nice shin-dig. Thanks for everyone who helped out, even if it was just helping me set up! Luckily for us, Porter's Aunt Rachael took pictures tonight because we took like a total of 7. But here are a few for you to look at until we get the gems from Rach.

I'm hoping to get back into the blogging thing this upcoming week, but I make no promises! :) There are several things going on this week and it's a short one, so who knows.

{62 monkey cupcakes later, we were ready to go.}

{Photo display of P: newborn to 12 months old}

{Trash the cake & the baby--P wasn't a big fan of frosting, but he likes cake!}

{Messy Toddler -- weird to call him that.}

I know Porter wont remember much if anything from this party but it really helped me. I told Aaron, "I feel like I'm mourning the loss of my baby and celebrating the arrival of my toddler." Looking back over the last year and taking some time to really remember was so good for Mommy. Hoping to write a 1 year old post all about P soon...
