the important stuff

I made to-do lists and ordered cakes, balloons and plates for his farmyard party. I cleaned, cooked and prepared for out-of-town guests. But as I planned his first birthday party, I truly wasn't concerned with spending a lot of money or making it "perfect". I just wanted it to be special for him and for his family that loves him so much. The decorations and presents are fun. But when his cousin walked in and showed me the origami farm animals he created for the party, I melted. I couldn't wait to take a picture of these adorable little animals to someday show my little guy what his cousin did for him on his first birthday.

It's a big milestone, although I know there are so many more to come. But we feel so incredibly lucky to have him in our lives.
