Joshua's First B-day

I still can't believe we now have a one year old. Joshua is a sweet natured, observant, funny little boy who likes to give cuddles and act silly.  We just love him to pieces and are very blessed to have such awesome friends and family who love and care about him as much as we do.

To celebrate his first year of life we grilled out with both families and our neighbors who Joshua absolutely adores.  I had so much fun planning and preparing his 1st b-day party. 

Everything was perfect and Joshua had a fun time.

His b-day sign and b-day boy shirt I made.

 

The b-day boy's special chair.  The banner hanging behind his chair has a picture from every month of his life.  My favorite part about the pictures is that in the pictures from his last half of his first year you can really see his personality shining.

Present time! 

I couldn't pass up this wrapping paper.  It has dogs all over it.  Our boy loves dogs!

 

Beep beep!

Joshua loves putting things together and connecting things.

 

Playing cars with Omah and Uncle Andrew.  He would crack up when Uncle Andrew would release the cars and they would go zooming down the tracks.  So cute!

Cake time!!!  I made him a sugar free banana and apple cake and used plain Greek yogurt and apple sauce for the frosting.  SSSHHH don't tell  him that it was a healthy cake ;)  He actually LOVES yogurt.

This last year has been such a blast.  Joshua brings us so much joy and laughter to our lives every single day.  We are looking forward to celebrating many more b-days with this precious son of ours.
