Carson's 1st Birthday

Wow - has it really been almost two months since I last blogged? Oops! Where did the time go? Oh, that's right - Thanksgiving, Christmas and a 1st Birthday celebration! The last few months have been such a fun, festive and rewarding time for myself and our family. This is the first year I have had time off from Accenture around the holidays and wow - what a difference a little time off makes! I used to be working so much overtime during the holiday season and this year I got to live life, enjoy the kids and make merry. What a blessing and a privilege!

One of the best parts about this holiday season was that the celebrations continued right into Carson's 1st Birthday! This year has completely flown by. I cannot believe our little boy is one. He has been such a sweet, delightful blessing the past year. I cannot even put into words how much our family has changed and how big a part of all of us Carson is. I am sure all of you out there who have two kiddos know what I am feeling, but to be cliche - our family feels so complete now. He lights up our lives with all his crazy adventures around the house while melting our hearts with how sweet he is. I think Kenzie summed it up best the other morning when she was looking across the table at Carson while eating breakfast and said "Mommy, I love our baby brother."

Here are pictures of his birthday party and some playtime in the snow on his actual birthday (yes we were in our PJs). Enjoy!

AWwwww- i loved the first birthday pictures. He looked so precious in his train vest. Looks like he really enjoyed that cake too and dug right in! What a cute special little bug he is. Happy 1st Birthday, Carson. Love, Steph (great job on all decor and baking, mama!)
