i promise you that despite the picture below -
grouchy gavin did manage to smile and enjoy himself during his quick lil’ celebration.
the giant orange ball was all the party rage.
happiest i’ve ever seen him in his whole 365 days!
silly, silly boy - i love him so.

  9. Lins- You are too cute. I can't tell that you love your kids to death! What a fun fun party! You are so creative. I love his little hat. I made max his name with big wooden letters, and that same paper I used for his "x". I love it. Great job. I can't believe he's already 1. Time seriously goes by too fast!
