Mama and Dadda could not be more proud! What a year it has been and what a beautiful boy he has grown to be!From our little hospital burrito to our big cake-eating, smiling, amazing little boy. We love you so very much!
Although it's cliche, it seems like it really was just yesterday that we were getting to know our little baby in those first few moments in our hospital room. Even then we could not have imagined how much he would change our lives for the better or how much joy he would bring us. We have loved every minute with him, yes, even through the early sleep deprivation!
Benjamin, your Mama and Dadda know you are the very best thing they have ever done and we love you forever and ever. Happy First Birthday Birdie!!
Now let the PAAARTY begin...
Benjamin celebrated in style with all of this friends and Gwamma and Gwampa who stayed an extra week just to be here. A very special THANK YOU to Gwamma for her help and guidance in helping Mama make your very first birthday cake, a choo choo train!...a project that took nearly 4 hours just to decorate! Clearly I am not concerned about setting a precedent!
ALL the time on the cake was entirely worth it when Benjamin raised his arms in triumph after those first tentative bites as if to say TOUCHDOWN! He was clearly in heaven and has since recognized a cake where ever it may be (grocery store, books, etc.).
We are thankful to all of our friends and family for enjoying this special moment with us! It will be a wonderful memory for Benjamin for all the years to come!
