James is 1 YEAR old!!

Happy first birthday to my sweet little James!! He's growing out of babyhood and becoming a toddler... it's so hard to believe he's that old already. I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday!

We had a great Mickey Mouse party for him yesterday with lots of friends and family. Even though it rained, James still had a good time opening gifts, having cake, and playing with his cousins and friend Henry. Here are some of the highlights of the party (the ones I managed to capture on film, anyway!). Sorry some of them are blurry, I was trying tyo chase James half the time!

James doing some acrobatics...



Opening gifts! James had a LOT of help from his cousins Levi and Asher, who were very enthusiastic about James's gifts. :-)






James observing his cousins playing with his new xylophone!

Uncle Nathan decided to help. :-)

Then James figured he'd play with it his own way!



Time for CAKE!! This was the smaller smash cake I made for James.






The cousins in their Mickey ears!

And opening some gifts on his actual birthday, which is also Father's Day this year!




Happy Birthday James!! We love you!!!
