First birthday.

A lot of people asked what we had planned for Jackson's first birthday.

I know some people go all out.

Tons of people.

Tons of food.

Tons of decorations.

Tons of work.

We are not those people.

We wanted to keep it simple.

We did think about inviting a couple friends over... 

but in the end Jonathan's work schedule was far too unpredictable to plan anything.

Which worked out better than we could have ever known.

Because Wednesday, November 2 ended up being a SNOW DAY!!

As in, my school district canceled classes and I got to stay home all day with my little boy.

We played in the snow.

I made pumpkin cupcakes.

Jonathan came home early.

What a special day!

Here are some pics:

That's one sweet little boy.

And he still went to bed around 6pm.

Good boy you are.
