Here are a few more pictures of the festivities at Wyatt’s First Birthday Round-Up!
{The Birthday Boy}
{Opening Presents}
Wyatt was blessed with clothes (he needed new clothes again – the kid grows overnight), toys, stuffed animals, and a play tent!
I have to highlight a couple gifts that were especially thoughtful . . .
My dear blog friend, Rebecca, sent him the sweetest birthday card. I am definitely keeping it to show to Wyatt when he’s older.
And my dear real-life friend, Ashley, made him these beautiful bibs and personalized fabric blocks! I was so impressed by her hidden talents (she never told me she could sew!).
{Cake}
He wasn’t too sure about it at first, but once he realized how sweet it was he was shoveling it in!
{Family}
Wyatt with (1.) my mom, (2.) my sister and her fiance, (3.) my dad, (4.) my brother and sister-in-law, (5.) Derek’s mom, (6.) Derek’s dad. We had a some friends over the next day for a second little celebration, but I didn’t get any good pictures I’m afraid.
{Birthday Minute}
We took a family picture on Wyatt’s exact birthday minute, 1:28 PM.
{Me and My Boy}
Wyatt was worn out after all that celebrating and took a nap while we enjoyed our cupcakes.
We had a wonderful weekend with our family and friends, celebrating the fact that our little guy has been with us for one whole year! Thank you to everyone who came and sent presents – you made our parties special!









I really wasn't expecting to do anything for our anniversary on Tuesday, since we had our anniversary getaway over Fourth of July weekend. But Derek surprised me by taking half the day off from work and taking Wyatt and me out to dinner!
We went to this cute little "farm" in the middle of the city - they have a restaurant and gift shops and gardens to walk around.
(Wyatt was a little fussy because of getting some vaccines - poor guy. He did pretty well though!)
We ate alot of delicious fattening food, strolled through the grounds, and walked around the gift shops. Derek told me to pick something out for my anniversary gift (which I thought was so sweet), so I got a sachet for my drawers (to make my clothes smell good), and a Woodwick candle. I told Derek he needed to pick something out too, so he picked out a book that he liked.
And of course we had to get something for Wyatt, so I got him a bag of marbles! He'll have to wait a few years to play with them, but I loved marbles as a kid, so I figured he needs some too.
It was such a fun surprise, and we had a lovely time! Thanks for the anniversary date, Babe! Here's to eighty more!
