The Big ONE!

So yesterday was my little guy's birthday!  That's right Griffin is now one and suddenly I feel old!  I am now the mother of a one year old and a four year old.  How did this happen?  Who said my boys could grow up so quickly?  I guess it is inevitable, isn't it.  We moms always think our babies get too big too soon, don't we?  Just a natural part of the life cycle I guess.
Anyway...it was a wonderful (albeit freezing cold) day.  We woke up and had breakfast as a family, but not before signing Happy Birthday a few times to the birthday boy!  while Griff took his morning nap (yep, he still does this!) Easton and I went to the store so that Easton could pick out a special birthday gift for his brother.  We had lunch, more rest, and then Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie Kellie joined us for a little family celebration.  Griffin opened his gifts, we had cupcakes and ice cream, and THEN went out for pizza!  Yep, we ate dessert first :o)  It was a great way to mark the special day.
Griffin has truly been a light in our life this last year and I couldn't imagine our lives with out him.  He is sweet and cuddly, smiley and mischievous, and is always keeping me on my toes!  I can not wait to see what the next year brings for him.  Love you Griffin!
