Curtis' First Birthday Party

This past weekend we went to NC to celebrate Curtis' first birthday with our family. It was a busy weekend, as always, but it was such a perfect weekend. The whole day was filled with family and friends. We had a little party around lunch time, complete with cake. He was so cute and gentle with the cake, unlike so many other 1yr olds I've seen. He didn't smash it or dig his face in to it like I thought he would. But he did enjoy the icing while my brave husband held him. It was pretty cute. Later in the day, my Aunt Bec Bec and Uncle Chuck came to visit. It was there first time meeting Curtis. It was so great to see them. And so fun watching Curtis interact with them. I love watching Curtis with my family. Sometimes it takes him a little while to warm up, but once he does, he is so funny to watch. To top off the day, Juan, Brenna and Prudence came by. Curtis was already down for the night and I was waking up from my nightly nap, but it was so great to see them. It was the perfect end to such a wonderful day.

I know we probably won't be able to celebrate every birthday with our families, but it was wonderful to celebrate Curtis' first with mine. To be able to share it with my Grandma, parent's, brother and sister-in-law and nieces, it just made the day so special.

In about 2 weeks, we get to celebrate his actual birthday, which I am looking forward to!
