Daniel's First Birthday!






















































We can hardly believe that Daniel turned 1 year old today! We had such a special celebration with our family and friends. We have so many blessings to be thankful for since Daniel is in our lives. The last year has been more incredible and joyful than we ever thought possible.

Daniel got a car from Mommy and Daddy and he played in it all afternoon! Cars are one of his favorite things to watch when he is outside. Nana and Grandpa brought Daniel a swing set and slide that all the kids loved! Of course Gram and Pop-pop brought Daniel a puppy and ducks (duckie is one of his favorite words). Daniel loved opening the presents - mostly he liked the paper. Michael and I also gave Daniel a horsey and a TX boot balloon since he is a TX boy!

We were so happy that Robyn, BJ, Brandon and Tyler all joined in Daniel's birthday celebration. I made two cakes for the party (one for Daniel and his friends and one for the adults). Daniel loved everyone singing to him (not so thrilled with the birthday hat though) and got some help from Mommy to blow out the candle. As you can see from the pictures he took several handfuls of icing - yummy! Looks like he might have Mommy's sweet tooth.

What a wonderful day full of love and many blessings.
