Happy Birthday Ya Ya!

It was Ya Ya's birthday on Monday so we began celebrating over the weekend.  We had secretly invited her best buddy - Mrs. Howie and her husband Mr. Howie to join us for dinner at Outback.  Ya Ya was excited and it was a great evening.  We actually had the waiter snap a picture of all of us!  Notice the huge pregnant woman in front - when I say huge-I not kidding as I am already measuring 40 weeks!  YIKES!

Yesterday after my doctor's appointment, Grady and I spent a quiet day with Ya Ya followed up by dinner and presents.  Happy Birthday Ya!

Ya Ya we love you and are so thankful for everything you do for us!  You're the best! 

What a Party!

What a day!  We celebrated Grady's first birthday on Sunday with approximately 40 friends and family!  It was such a great day!  

Grady could not have been better.  After not sleeping well on Saturday night, I was not sure what to expect, but he was great.  He let anyone who wanted to hold him, he wore his birthday hat like a trooper and ate pulled pork!  

We had the food catered by Dinosaur and I made Grady a Hippo "smash" cake for the event.  While he did dive into it, I was surprised that he did not make as much of a mess with it as I thought he would have.  

Everything went smoothly and we are so happy that everyone was able to share this special milestone with us!
