Birthday Boy

On August 24 was Finn's first birthday. Where has time gone? It still seems like yesterday that we went to the hospital (in a hurry!) to meet our little boy. (His birth is a whole different story.)
The night before his birthday Neil and I decorated the living room and set up the "birthday table" with Finn's gifts. In the morning I sang "Happy Birthday" to Finn and he got to play with his new "Laugh and Learn Play Home". Neil came home early from work and helped with preparations for the afternoon party.
Since both our families live far away and couldn't come here for his birthday we invited a few friends over. We decided to keep it small with just 4 kids and 7 adults. It was a really nice get-together. The children played with Finn's new toys and the adults got to visit and talk and eat. At night another family from church came by. At the end of the day Finn was pretty exhausted, but happy.
Now, our baby is officially a "toddler". He is a healthy, happy little person and makes us smile a hundred times a day.
