A party for our little Sunshine

Birthday boy in his new wagon!

On Saturday we celebrated our little Sunshine's first birthday!  Thank you to all of our family and friends that came to celebrate this special occasion and to all of you who were here in spirit too!  "Sunshine" is one of our nicknames for Hank.  It started because when we come in to his room to get him up from sleeping we say "Good Morning Sunshine!" or "Hello Sunshine!" and then we scoop him up and give him hugs and kisses.  We've been doing this since he was a itty bitty wee one so it seemed only appropriate to make this day all about the little guy who has added so much sunshine to our lives. 

We displayed all of the blanket pictures we have been taking this year.  Everyone loved seeing how much he has changed over the past year.  We gave away our favorite cookies as treats to our guests!

Cupcake time!  We had homemade carrot cake cupcakes.  Hank had never had any sweets before this so I wasn't sure what he'd think of the taste of the cupcake.  Well, let's just say he's definitely his mama's boy.  He loved the frosting and the cake part too!

Listening to everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to him

Mmmm...this is yum!

An extra special thank you to Brett, Gigi, and Grandmama for all of the hard work you put into helping me get everything together for the party.  I couldn't have done it without you!  THANK YOU!
