Birthday Boy

On July 31st 2013, Micha turned one!



 We started off the day with Micha's favorite breakfast foods:
pancakes, blueberries, and a raspberry smoothie.

After his morning nap we had cake. 

I made a healthy whole wheat banana cake with a Greek yogurt and honey frosting.
(from pinterest)

He loved digging into it!





Then it was time for his birthday present.

His little face just lit up when he ripped off the wrapping paper,
Gah! So adorable!





Afterwards we headed to the pool and splashed around a bit. 
Micha loved going on the little water slide with me.

In the afternoon, B's parents and sister and her boyfriend came over for a bit to celebrate with us.

It was a perfect day!

^ ^ ^ ^

On Saturday we celebrated all over again with a party at the park with all of his little and big friends.

The weather was perfect, the food was enjoyed and Micha loved all the attention.

I kept the party simple, it was picnic style, with some easy decorations like his week-by-week photo's pinned to the flag bunting, colorful balloons, and a kiddie pool filled with water and toys for the littles to splash around in.








Simple, but perfect!

I can't believe our little guy is one year old already!


We are so blessed!

Love, Maria

      We made a bigger video of Micha's first year, if you're interested?
      It's a pretty big file though, I'm not sure if I can email it, do you have DropBox?
