First Year Pictures

Here are a few of the shots we got at Griffin's one year photo shoot. Amy got some good ones...unfortunately, Griff doesn't like getting his pic taken outside and he usually takes a little bit to warm up to new people, so we didn't get too many smiles. But, mommy will make up for that at all informal shoots throughout the year! :)

More First Birthday Pics…

There were a lot of cameras going at the party, and thus lots of different sets of pictures for me to integrate and I forgot to add some from this set…so here’s some more!

Griff’s very own Mickey cake!

This Birthday thing?  Griff’s just not so sure what to think about it!

Griffin’s First Birthday Party

One week ago today our house was full of family and friends, all there to celebrate Griffin’s first birthday.  Because Griffin is entirely enchanted with Mickey Mouse, the theme was inevitable.  We had Mickey-roni, lot of Mouseka-Treats and Mouseka-Snacks, and of course Hot-Dog-Hot-Dog-Hot-Diggity-Dogs!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the party happen, and thanks to all who came – though Griffin was a bit overwhelmed and needed a few days to recover, I know he loved seeing everyone.  AND, the amount of gifts we opened that day was nothing short of silly – thanks also to everyone for spoiling our little man.

Personalized cupcakes!Mickey. Mickey Everywhere…

Shoes!  Griff is becoming quite the shoe horse…the other day driving home after school he was getting a little fussy, so I opened the new box of shoes I’d gotten him (cute little Nike tennies and cute little Nike sandals for this summer at the pool) and handed him one…his face lit up, he grabbed it, held it up, and exlaimed “Sooooooos!”

 Griff and his cousin Connor…Griff crawled over and started to open a gift before the party began…we gave the okay for one to be opened early, and Connor helped. And it just happened to be a Little People train that he immediately wanted to play with.

     He sure got messy, but I’m not so sure much made it into his mouth!

Griff and his very best buddy Tyler.  Since Ty turned One a few weeks before Griff, somehow they got matching shirts!  Thanks, Ty for my great Mickey shirt!

Ben, Kevin, Connor, Jack, and Luke played a little ball in the yard       

And a quick pic of mommy and daddy all ready for the wedding that we headed to in the City the night before Griff’s party!

Sneak Peek!

I'm still gathering pics to post about Griffin's awesome birthday party (awesome because of all of his friends and family that made it so great), but here's a sneak peek on our photographer's website of our first year photo session!
