Happy 1st Birthday ~

Happy Happy Birthday Celebration ~

It was a great day ~ we had a nice day celebrating Caels 1st birthday, although we didn't have as many people here to share the wonderful day with us, we are able to share with the wonderful world of BLOG. Please bare with me with the 40 photos...believe me I really did cut it down from like 400...CRAZY shooters. Please enjoy all the photos.

Nathan and I were so happy to be able to celebrate his day monkey style and although he will not remember ANY of this.. it means a lot to me to make his celebration of his 1st year very special. It was such a wonderful year, he has brought us so so much love, more than I have imagined he would... when you have a child already and you think how is it possible to love something or someone MORE than I do her or him... well it IS possible and are cups have runneth over!! Cael has brought so much joy and laughter to our home, Kayleigh has been so funny to watch as she loves on her brother, and yet... at times just as siblings do... wants her brother to leave her things alone... lol.. well that will always happen. I so LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my life, I love my lil family, I LOVE that I have been blessed with these two precious gifts in my life and have made me want to be a better person and someone they can look up to, respect and love.

I had A LOT of fun creating his birthday theme, I did all the creative design on the invitations, birthday banner, baby's first year banner and all the lil signs and decor.. it was some work but I loved doing so and I will do it again ~
