Although Evan won't OFFICIALLY be one until Monday, we celebrated today! It was more emotional for me than I expected, I actually teared up while we all sang happy birthday to him. He had a great time...he loved his smash cake, all of his presents, and having our friends at the house.
Here's our birthday boy! We bought balloons and Mark blew several up earlier in the day so Evan could play with them while we were preparing for the party. He just loves balloons!
Evan also sported his bib from Nana for the cake smashing event, isn't he adorable?!
The birthday cake that I made for my little guy! Nothing beats homemade buttercream icing!
Our sweet family of three! I seriously can't believe it's been a year since Evan came into our lives.
I can't imagine one day without him!
Evan loved his smash cake!
He was hesitate at first but once he had that first taste he really dug in.
He takes after his momma that way...
Evan really enjoyed the process of opening presents. He showed interest with each one as he "helped" unwrap. He especially loved playing with the tissue paper {what child doesn't?!} while mom and dad helped him with the tricky stuff.
We have very generous friends who showered Evan with some pretty awesome gifts.
Thank you to each and every person who came today to celebrate Evan's special day!
Evan changes everyday and if this year is any indication of how quickly time truly does fly, I want to stop tonight and treasure each moment I have with Evan. In the midst of the trying times that come with having a child, I want to remember each and every moment that brought joy. We are blessed beyond measure to have Evan. I can't wait to see what this next year holds for him and our family!
So we officially have a one year old in our house now...watch out world!
Happy Birthday Evan!!
