A few days after Luke's 1st Birthday, we celebrated with a p-a-r-t-y!

My mom was sick, so Dad brought my grandmother to the party.

I had been planning his first birthday for months, I knew the colors I wanted, and how I wanted things to look....
I was excited to celebrate my baby boy's big day!

This was his very cute first birthday cake.
Yes, it WAS.
It didn't quite make it during the car ride to our house.
I was sad, but realized that it's just cake and so, I had to laugh....or I might have cried :(

Moving on...

Danielle and I cooked chili in our crockpots, one more spicy than the other, but both very yummy!

and a wish was made.

I've been waiting for this post...looks like Luke had a wonderful 1st Birthday!!

The cake at least looked like it was still edible...I hope

Maybe I'm the only one who would notice this, but I caught a glimpse of a different look for your fireplace and noticed something big missing in the living room...I need to come check out the new look:)
