Ari had quite the party. I would have opted for a small family and friends gathering, but the problem is, we have too many friends! Good problem to have, right?! So, we had an absolutely packed house full of laughter and children and babies, and it was wonderful! I had a hard time choosing which photos to share, so I am going to share a lot of them!
The theme was "you are my sunshine," because he really is ours.
Singing "Happy Birthday"
He wasn't totally sure about the cake!
But he can always ham it up for the camera.
Mama went in for the kiss...and she got it! :)
We had the wonderful performance by my dad of the song he wrote for Ari. Ari accompanied on maraca. I will soon be having him play it again so I can film it and share it with all of you!
I love these of my brother holding my son.
Some more favorites - the latter is Ari with his Grandmas and his Great-Grammy looking on.
I wish we had a picture of every guest! But, enjoy these cuties!
Enough already mom, I'm tired!
Excuse the hand, it was too cute a picture to pass up!
Happy Birthday to my sweet boy! My how time flies!
love it! he is so awesome. your hair looks amazing, too!
