1st Birthday Party

Garrison had a great time at his party.  We have a small house and had a lot of family and friends but I think everyone had a good time.  I spent a lot of time making the decor and didn't really take too many pictures of it :( but what matters is Garrison had a fun party.  He finally figured out everyone was there to see him when he started on his smash cake.  One of my other favorite things was the video that Jon made for the party.  It was called "Garrison's Firsts" and it was a short video of various firsts he had throughout the year.  The song that played was "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I cried everytime I watched it.  We went with a sock monkey theme with red and light blue as the colors. Here are some pictures.

Waiting the party - his sweet shirt has a 1 with sock monkey fabric and his name.

Garrison loved this card.  On the mantle I had a picture of him at each month.

Happy Birthday Garrison

Today is Garrison's birthday.  I can't believe it - the year has flown.  Being Garrison's mom has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done.  God blessed us with Garrison in his perfect timing.  Garrison is a great lesson for me to give everything to God because he is more perfect than I could ever have imagined.  God continues to amaze us and surprise us.  He is definitely in control.  I can't wait to see what the next year will bring.

Love at first sight
