I just can't believe that this boy is an entire year old. What a joy this past year has been watching him grow. He brings so much joy into our lives and I truly can't image life without him. We decided to have his party the day after we returned from vacation. I still can't decide if that was good timing or not haha, because it atleast made me have all the party prep done before we left for vacation. I was so stuck on what little theme to have for his party. I just was in such disbelief that it was time to be planning it. Time had flown so fast and I just wasn't ready for him to be one. That's when I decided to do a "time flies" theme. I love to go big for the first bday, but to do it on a budget is always a fun challenge. I scored pinterest and came up with a few ideas on my own. It was so fun planning and ended up being very inexpensive. We had such a fun day celebrating this boy!
I'll let the pictures do the talking on if Abe liked the cake or not.... haha
October is one of my favorite months of the year. When I think of October, I think of newborn babies, crisp leaves, and my babies birthdays. They knew the theme of their birthday parties back in May. Obviously it had to be Spider-man and Elsa. I knew our budget was going to be tight with vacation the same month, so I tried to keep decor to a minimum. We last minute had to change the party to Josh's work since our house was having some work done.
I'm so thankful for these two. Man. I just am in awe of the Lord's goodness in giving me them. They are the sweetest and best of friends. All of September they talked about their cakes and what they wanted them to look like. They would get so excited for each other when discussing the designs they wanted. Since it was just going to be cake and ice cream, I decided to try to go all out on their cakes. Pinterest saved the day with ideas, and they were actually fairly easy to make. They weren't anything fancy, but the kids loved them and talked about them for days after.
He is 5. She is 3. We love every second of them growing up and learning new things about them daily, but most days, I just wish time would slow down.
Happy Birthday to our biggest boy and lovely girl! You two are SO LOVED!
Good grief I love them.
