First Birthday

Happy Birthday, James! James is one lucky boy because we have been celebrating his first birthday all week. We have discovered a few new things about our little one year old this week: one, he LOVES cake; two, he LOVES attention; and three, wrapping paper is much more fun than the actual presents. He has a lot of thank you notes to write.

His first birthday party was in Tuscaloosa on Monday with some close friends and family. Lee Lee (my mom) filled up a baby pool with plastic balls and it was James' version of heaven.





Our sweet friends and my dad's partner, Carla and Brian, made him an adorable puppy dog birthday cake.

Uncle Dawson gave him his very first Alabama football!


My Aunt Cathy came up from Florida to celebrate.



And at the end of the night, he was one tired little pumpkin.


Then, last night we had our business school friends over for another birthday celebration.






James' friend Jackson was born on the same day as James!


Even Elliot got to enjoy some birthday cake! Notice, Jackson feeding him some cake in this photo.

And of course, James' girlfriend, Jada, was there to celebrate his big day.
