Birthday party pictures and more!

Besides all the great Birthday party pictures I have to share, I was going through all my other photos and realized that I have TONS that I have never posted. So this is going to be a blog full of pictures and even a few videos!!!

Jacks First Birthday Weekend:
The first night of celebrating was with Grandma Nancie, Mimi and Poppi. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner of Jack's favorites-- spaghetti, garlic bread, and cupcakes.

Mimi made him this shirt "I'm the Birthday Kid!"









































Then Jack got to open his presents from Grandma Nancie, Mimi and Poppi!
He got a membership to the Little Gym from Grandma Nancie and Elmo Encore Live from Mimi and Poppi!!He LOVES Elmo!! (Yes he is about to give Elmo a big kiss)










We then went to Build-A- Bear and this is what Jack made!












Then the big birthday bash happened!!!






























This is the awesome trike that G-pa got Jack...he LOVES it! And doesn't he just look so adorable in it???













We had such a great time at the party and we want to thank everyone for all the great gifts and for helping us celebrate Jack's FIRST birthday! We love you all!

Happy Birthday Jack!!

Well this day has finally arrived...Jack is 1!!! It is absolutely shocking that it has been an entire year. I can't believe that he has been in our lives for 12 months now. It feels like just yesterday I was laying in my hospital bed waiting for all my induction drugs to finally kick in ( which really, they never truly did!). At 7:15pm tonight, Jack will officially be 1 year!

We have, of course, lots planned to celebrate this momentous occasion. First off, since JJ is working today, Jack and I are going to Mommy and Me, then Little Gym and then going out to dinner with Jack's "second" family-- Lauren, Monica and Sarah. These three friends have truly been our Richmond family not only since Jack has been born but ever since our RMC days. What would i do without them??? It was only appropriate to celebrate with them on his birthday!! Tomorrow, the grandparents are coming to town!! We will have Jack's official "birthday" dinner tomorrow night with some of Jacks favorites-- spaghetti, garlic bread and his first taste of cake! Then Friday is a fun filled day of Build-A-Bear( a new tradition we are making in our family) lunch with the grandmas, and then Birthday pictures at Sears! Then of course, Saturday is the actual birthday party where all of our family and friends will help us celebrate once again!!

We want to say thank you to everyone who has helped us get through this first year. Especially Grandma Nancie, Mimi, Poppi and our designated babysitters-- Monica and Sarah! We could not have done it without every single one of you! It has been a great year, with a lot of trials and tribulations, tears and victories, and hugs and kisses.

Hopefully this next year will be as wonderful as this past one!!!
