Happy First Birthday Banastre!!!!!

Today my baby boy turned 1! I can't believe it has already been a year since the first time I held him. This year has flown by and he has changed so much!! But, more on that later!

Banastre's first birthday present...SNOW!!! Yes, we were out playing in the snow at 8:30 this morning. Elizabeth couldn't wait another second and so out the door we went.

Banastre wasn't too sure at first, but he did eventually end up liking it. (He did have gloves on right after this pic!!)

This snow ball ended up getting Elizabeth!! We had lots of fun with a snowball fight!!

Here's a pic of how pretty everything looked with the snow. Doesn't the pond look great?

After getting very cold, we all ventured back in. At lunch time we decided we had had enough of being inside and went to Lone Star for lunch with Grandma and Grandpa.

He enjoyed all of his lunch and then we all went home.

This evening after dinner, we gave the birthday boy a piece of chocolate cake with oreo's on top. He was very sweet in the beginning and would only take small bites off with his hand and put them in his mouth. He eventually got tired of this though and grabbed the whole piece and started chowing down. This is the aftermath:

So, now he is in bed and Mommy is ready too. Tomorrow I will post on all of his achievements in the past year and Saturday is his birthday party!!!
