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.

IMG_0678_8_1Shoes!  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!”
