Grayson's 1st Birthday Party

Wow! How can it be that we have a one-year-old?!! Time flies when you're having fun, I guess! This past weekend we had the best time celebrating our sweet Grayson! We still cannot believe that God blessed us with this amazing gift! We love being his parents and we cannot wait to see what is in store for us in the many many years that follow:)

On Saturday, we had friends and family all gather to celebrate our Captain Grayson! His birthday was airplane themed (rightfully so...he has seriously made like 10 round trip flights since he was born... I think there are people who have not been on a plane that many times in their life, yet alone their FIRST year of life!). He is always great on airplanes, even when it is just him and his mommy traveling alone. So, hence we came to the airplane theme for our little Captain.

We had the party in our community room in our building, because our place is way too small to have a party! The room was great and the perfect size for all of those kiddos.

**Be prepared for picture overload! Also, don't judge my awesome picture taking skills...I guess that photography class never paid off in college;)

We had these adorable invites made by HH Design House! I would highly recommend her! I saw several people use her that I am friends with that do not know each other, so I thought, she must be good! And she was! I chopped off our address, but it said to meet on the "5th floor terminal" and "Reserve Your First Class Seat"
