I am blown away by these precious pictures of Ridley.  They are perfect, and I will treasure them forever.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Reed's first birthday party

We celebrated Reed's first birthday with family and friends this weekend. He was all about having some fun and partying. He didn't like the party hat, and it upset him a little. Everything else was awesome. He loved the balloons and the streamer decorations.
I enjoyed putting the table scape together with all of the festive decor. I was really struggling earlier in the week with concerns that this wouldn't come together. I think I was in printable cutting hell. I am very pleased, and I think it was something special for Reed even though we didn't have a theme.

Reed loved playing with the streamers. He would pull them as far as he could and then let them spring back up.

Nana helped "hold back" the boys. The cupcakes and candy were calling their names.

Reed is ready to destroy his cupcake.

He decided to eat the top portion with all the yummy icing.

Oh yeah! Reed loves cupcakes. I think he would have gone for another one.

Meanwhile Ryland gets a little silly. He decides to eat his cupcake with no hands.

Ryland makes his share of a cupcake mess.

Me, John Chris, Ryland, and Reed

A sneak peak at the 1 year photos.

Ryland has been getting monthly pictures since he was 3 months old. Today's session is the last one in the monthly series and it is kind of sad. It has been difficult at times to schedule the session between ear infections and normal life, but the pictures are one of my favorite things we have done to document his life. It is so cool to look back to see how much he has grown and changed.

Thanks Kendra for capturing these special moments!
