Oh that. Yes, it happened. Two weeks ago actually! Where has my brain been… ?
And I forgot the Small Miracles blog hop yesterday. Oh boy- well hopefully I’ll start getting my act together. In between recovering from some serious birthday-bash-planning, Jenna’s special dates scattered all over this month, the insane wait list {I’m really not complaining!}, preparing for a vacay in a few weeks {skips around the living room}, and brainstorming ideas for _______ {more on this later!} my head is spinning and all for good reason.
But I like it this way. This is how I function.
This is how I learned to survive after losing Jenna- throw myself into my work which I love.
Now it’s a way of life.

But what I really wanted to share were some snapshots taken by a friend of mine, Beth, of Bubby’s first birthday party :)
Nearly everyone that received an invite showed up, it was AWESOME. Of course Bubby had a grand ol’ time. He was the center of attention and ate. it. up.
100+ cupcakes and 8 pounds of icing later… it was all worth it.
*Handmade with love*… yea, next birthday party I think I’ll just order one! ;) Let’s just say I was up waayyy past midnight making sure there was enough icing for all the cupcakes.
Pete getting ready to grill some hamburgers!
I couldn’t of done it without Carrie! Thank God she knew what she was doing! :)
Mmmmm…
My dad and my Bubby ♥
There were a ridiculous amount of balloons thanks to these people {minus me on the phone}
Now this was shocking. I think Joseph must be extra tender-hearted. He got scared by my hubby trying to help him ‘hit’ the pinata. Can you tell he’s fixing to cry? So sad.
It finally did break though :) {thanks to Pete who whacked it after all the kids tried to break it} Miss being a kid sometimes.
And the cupcake… :) Everyone enjoyed watching Bubby devour his cupcake.
Can you tell which part of the cupcake is his favorite? ;)
Opening gifts in front of everyone with Bubby eventually crawling all over the place was… interesting. The kids at the party ended up helping me, which I totally welcomed.
*sweetness*
Is his silhouette not the prettiest thing ever??
