Today is all about Davis. Yes, I had a birthday too - but when you have a baby (as you Mama's well know I'm sure) it becomes ALL about the babe! Especially when your Birthdays are 4 days apart!
I am TOTALLY OK with it...I kinda like the kid. :)
So...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVIS!
(which officially is TODAY)
Last weekend was the celebration weekend! I totally said I would NEVER be one of those Moms who throws "BIG BASHES" for a one-year-old party...ummmm...can I take that back?
It's just so hard NOT to throw a big party! We just had our families over (no friends yet) and it was really a blast! We called it...
THE DECORATIONS
(the above signs were made by 3 Little Monkeys Studio--THANKS Gretchen!)
{My LAST minute cake (because I dropped the Mustache Cake that I made--oops!!)}
{The "Pin The Stache on Davis" game was so funny!}
{We set up a PHOTO BOOTH -- with a Pick Your Prop basket-o-fun! Pretty dang funny -- people's personalities really come out when they put wigs & mustaches on!!}
{I MAY have made a ONE YEAR VIDEO for Davis and had it on rotation the entire party. Heehee.}
{My cute/funny Mama!}
{My sis & D}
{I made up a little SCAVENGER HUNT for the kiddos--to keep them entertained..
I laughed so hard at how organized they were about it--closing their eyes,
sitting in a circle and doing it in such an orderly fashion! What kids do that? :)}
{Loved that Ty's Grandpa FELL ASLEEP in the middle of the party
WITH his fake mullet & mustache on -- of course!}
PHOTO BOOTH TIME!
{Our families had SO MUCH fun taking crazy pics!}
What IS THIS?.................................Hmmm, interesting............................OK--this is DELICIOUS!
I was OBSESSED with Davis' shirt--but I could not get him to sit still for a minute to take a pic of him wearing it (go figure!). And he seriously got SPOILED with all of the presents (ok, ok, some of them were for me -- like the Red Rider ;)
We had SUCH a fun time!! Thanks to every one of my family members who came/helped/gave a gift..etc..LOVE YOU ALL!!
Dear Davis,
HAPPY ONE YEAR (today) to my little monkey! You really are the BEST thing that has ever happened to me! I can't believe ONE YEAR ago I was in the hospital, grunting and making all kinds of unnatractive noises (TMI?)...but then there you were and my life changed forever. I could cry just thinking about how much I love you. You are a just a ball of joy & love...and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love you more than you know!
Mama
