What a Difference a Year Makes

Jack turned one on April 16th.  I cannot believe that it's been a whole year since he was born!  It's amazing how much things can change in one short year.

Jack's birthday party was Noah's Ark themed and was on April 17th at 2:00.  We were so fortunate to have so many family members and friends here.  Jack felt very loved on his birthday.  He's one lucky little boy!

I said that I wasn't going to go overboard with the party...well, I did...just a little.  However, you can never "redo" a first birthday...so, why not?  Jack won't remember anything but the pictures, but, we had a blast doing the planning.

Here are some pictures of his special day. Enjoy!

Not so sure about the cake at first...
