This is way overdue (what isn't in my life these days?) but I still wanted to share how we celebrated our little guy's first birthday.
The past year had left us a lot to celebrate, and preparing for this party all of the sudden felt like a way of expressing my love of him and to him: which is probably why I went a bit overboard. I couldn't help myself!
When Henry was first born, I loved the idea of taking monthly pictures, so I picked out these cute stickers from Etsy. At the time I wasn't thinking first birthday theme, but 11+ months later when I was beginning to plan, I realized ties would be perfect!
A few pinterest searches later, and the idea of a tie-themed little man birthday was born...
My in-laws hosted the big day and we were overwhelmed with gratitude for all the family and friends who came to celebrate with us.

Everyone says it, but now I understand what they mean when they say babies grow up so fast. I still don't know how his turned a year old so quickly, and so much has even changed since his party we just to cherish it all while we can. We love you Henry!!
