Liam's First Birthday

Liam's first birthday fell on Friday the 13th this year. Some may think that's unlucky, but being able to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary {!} and our son's first birthday on the same day was anything but unlucky...it was such a blessing to spend it with family!

Our day started around 8am when the birthday boy woke up. Of course, I had to go in and shower him with kisses. :)





Our nanny came over for a few hours in the morning to watch the little guy while I got some things done for his party the next day. She is such a huge help!!!

My brother and his girlfriend, Leanna, flew in from Philly that morning, so we were all able to go out to a nice lunch together that afternoon. We went to the Trader's Point Creamery which has farm to table food plus some wonderful ice cream.


Little man LOVES his books...Freight Train is one of our favorites.





caught him with a bubble :)

Can't forget that we were celebrating our anniversary too!

Time for delicious ice cream! Liam wasn't too crazy about it, but don't worry, he has since come around...he's definitely my son. :)


After a yummy lunch, we were able to walk around the farm a bit, and Liam even got to pet a few animals!








Once we were done with the animals, we went back to our house so Liam could open some of his presents. 
He LOVES this bunny that my Grandma got him. It sings when you press his arm and Liam starts dancing whenever he hears the music.










Before bedtime, we decided to give Liam a taste of cake in order to prepare him for his big cake smash the following day. I had an extra layer from when I made his smash cake, so we let him try it out. {I colored the cake blue, that's why it looks like it's a funny color}






Needless to say, he was not too keen on it, and he really just enjoyed pushing the cake around his placemat...

All done!

At that point, the birthday boy was done and it was time to rest up for his big party on Saturday! Party details coming soon! :)

It's been awhile...

Hey y'all! Remember me? The girl who used to blog?? Well, if you're reading this, you know that I decided to make this blog private. I just didn't feel comfortable anymore with anybody being able to access it, especially with all the pictures I post of the little guy. So, welcome back and thank you for reading again!

A lot has happened since my last post {read: we now have a ONE year old!}, and plenty of pictures to show for the last 6 months. Slowly, but surely, I hope to share some of the big stuff from the last few months, but for now, I'll leave you with these... :)
