Celebrating Milo!

On Saturday we had Milo's 1st birthday party and dedication! We decided to combine it into one event as it seemed fitting to reflect on the fact that Milo is a gift from God on his 1st birthday! At the dedication Eric and I made the commitment to raise Milo to know Jesus through our example.

Eric's parent's brought some of Eric's old toys to share with Milo, here he is inspecting his dad's toy train!


I had so much fun making Milo's monkey cake (along with Puppy, Grammy and Grandma)!


Helping the birthday boy blow out the candles.

He was a big fan of his first tastes of chocolate...can you blame him?!?

The damage is done...looks like we fed him a mud pie!

An impromptu bath!

Milo amidst all of his presents. He loved the ukulele from his parents, he wouldn't put it down!

Cousin Teddy made his first flight to be there for Milo's party! They are buds already and Milo even grabbed his face a few times!

I am so glad that Lucy and I could be there--it was worth all the travel problems to be there. Love the mud picture. The entire celebration was just incredible! The dedication, the video, the cake-you guys did a great job!
