Jacob's Birthday Party

We celebrated Jacob's first birthday at our home on a sunny day. We wanted the focus to be on our boy and the love that surrounds him- so we kept everything simple, homemade, and relaxed. It was a perfect day.

Josh has declared a birthday tradition of burning our Christmas tree at Jacob's birthday party. Because no kid's party is complete without a giant fire, right?

(my kid is NOT into being held still. don't even try it.)


I built a tent for Jacob and I think he loves it! More on that next time...

I owe a big, huge "THANK YOU" to my family, Sarah, and Vanessa for spending a whole lot of time helping me give my boy a great day! You are all incredible!

  1. Yey looks like so much fun! I love jl's face so much, it always makes me smile so much, he literally pulls the best expressions for a baby! But he's not so much of a baby anymore, it's crazy isn't it?! I have loved seeing him grow up though and following his progress, he always seems so happy, and your family looks so sweet! Good luck for this next year, it's going to be an interesting one right?!
