My Prince Charming

Troy is a whole year old!  Oh man, what a year it has been.  Full of ups and downs, and so many changes.  I feel so lucky, everyday to have been blessed with this little boy.  He is just the best thing ever.  (Even if he still wakes up between 5am and 6am everyday!) 

I am not a big party person, especially for a one year old, so I kept things simple for my little man.  When I saw a $20 castle tent at Ikea it gave me an idea though.  We'd celebrate our little Prince Charming, because he seriously is such a charmer. 

So I bought some streamers and crowns, and my mom and I, well mostly my mom, made Troy a Dragon cake.  We celebrated with a birthday swim, with Nana Carol, Papa Jeff, Auntie Sarah and cousin Luca then had some pizza, presents and cake! 

It was a fun day.  I can say I learned so much in Troy's first year of life.  I changed a lot, hopefully for the better, although there are days where I think Adam might differ with you.  Adam certainly has changed a lot.  I've never seen him so in love.  Troy is just his pride and joy and it is the cutest thing ever!

In the morning we filled his castle with balloons and he loved it

He loved playing in the streamers tool

He enjoyed destroying it, but didn't eat any!

We sure love this little boy so much!  He's the best, and we're excited for him to be walking soon!
