1!

A whole year!
Our little buddy had a very special day! Blows our minds how fast this year has gone and overwhelms us how this little guy found his own special place in our family and has brought us so very, very much joy!

We love the way he snuggles, the way he calls Bright "D!", the way he never gets enough to eat, the way his little legs and bare toes move when he walks, the way he pulls things out of cabinets, the way his whole world stops when "D" walks in the room.... Thank you Lord for our precious little Peanut!

We did a little pre-celebrating in Charlotte.... and were all amazed by Grandmommy's cake!
(she also made the sweet outfit he's wearing for all the festivities!)

Eating it by the fistfull!

Happy cousins- waiting for cake!

Playing with Aunt Jane & little Isabella!
Everyone helping with presents!
Today we had another sweet little family party...
B doing some pre-party preparations for the birthday boy
setting the table
(she picked the giraffe dress herself in honor of his party theme... which she also helped choose)
posing with aunt kk!
birthday big sister- what a helper!

diving in!
bunch of balloons! (thanks suh-suh!)
preferring to push rather than ride!
loving his hand painted car (and duck not pictured) from his sweet sis!
