A year ago James came into the world and gave us another year of sleepless nights and diaper changes. He also gave our house more laughter and made our family whole. So when his 1st birthday came around, we took vacation and spent the day celebrating.
The morning started with James opening his presents with the help of his big sister. James did pretty good, although he liked watching Ashlyn more than he liked tearing wrapping paper.
Once the presents were opened, we got to play with his first set of dinosaurs (rawr!) and various things that made noise when he banged on them.
After a quick nap, we had a quick lunch and we were off to the Dallas World Aquarium. The kids had a great time, and rather than tell a story I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
On the way back home James fell asleep with his shark in one hand, and a half eaten graham cracker in the other.
But when we got home, he was rested and ready to play. This is what the rest of the afternoon looked like. Not a bad 1st birthday. Happy birthday James!
