Party Time

Dear Gavin,
On the day of your first birthday party
you woke up feeling really yucky.
Your face was all puffy...
Your eyes were goopy...
You had a fever...
No doubt about...
You had an ear infection.
Even though you woke up with
all of that you also woke up
with a great big smile!
An ear infection wasn't going
to stop you from having a great
day celebrating with your friends!!
My sweet boy on this day...
we celebrated you...
wonderful little you!

We celebrated because of
the way you love your Mama!

We celebrated because of how
much you have grown!

We celebrated because of the 365 wonderful
days you have been in our lives!

We celebrated because of the way
you love your brother and
he loves you!
We celebrated your messiness!!!
The smash cake never stood a chance!
We celebrated your sweet disposition!
The way you are just content
and happy!
 
We celebrated because 
of how much
love surrounds you!
We celebrated the joy
that you have brought 
to our family!

We celebrated because
we are so lucky to have
great friends and family
to help us wish you a very
happy 1st birthday!
 
We celebrated because of
all your milestones...
Your first tooth...
Learning to crawl...
Sleeping through the night...
All of them!

We celebrated because you
are making new friends!
We celebrated because
you are an amazing little
boy who shows us how
to  slow down
and enjoy the little
everyday moments!

We celebrated because you are you!
We celebrated because you have
made our family complete!
We celebrated because you
are growing up...
learning new things...
and reaching new milestones!
We love you very much!
Happy First Birthday Gavin!
