Your first birthday!

Dear Matthew

Last week you turned one. It has been a crazy year. The days have at times seemed to have gone on forever and yet I can't believe you are already officially a toddler. We have been so blessed to have been able to watch you grow into the gorgeous little boy that you are. You make everyday better and I love that my days are filled with your smile, your infectious giggle and beautiful easy going nature. We love you monkey. 

So to celebrate we had invited all your nearest and dearest to the local park but Mother Nature had other ideas so we relocated to our backyard in case the forecasted rain decided to hit during the party. Fortunately it only rained in the morning and come the afternoon we were flooded with sunshine. 

You somehow managed to stay awake from 11am to 8pm without too much of a fuss- I'm guessing you were on a high from all the loving friends and family around you. 

As always, I love you to the moon and back. 

Love,

P.S. Your cake was a combined effort by me and your dad- over five hours of cooking/decorating.... and then we forgot to give you any haha! Oh well, you still had plenty of treats and sugar-filled snacks!
