Just Plane Fun

When I became a mother I thought about so many different things, how this little person would grow up, if they would have daddy's or mommy's eyes, how we would raise them....but I also thought about all those special moments I remembered as a child; coming downstairs and seeing the tree all lit up with presents dropped off from Santa; Easter egg hunts in the backyard, getting all dressed up for Halloween and checking out the 'loot' afterwards, and fun birthday parties. I was so excited about making those events special and memorable for my kids.

Levi's 1st b-day was very low key, a huge cupcake, some presents, pizza and the fam. But this year....I couldn't resist. I threw a party. I just couldn't help myself. I was too excited about it I couldn't wait a couple more years until he would actually remember.

Planes were the theme because every time an airplane sounds or the word airplane is said, Levi takes flight and runs around the house, arms spread ready for liftoff.

I didn't want to spend too much so I made a bunch of paper airplanes out of paper I had and strung them up all around the house and backyard, they looked way better than they did in my head.
Cameron, Levi's buddy, decided to mow the lawn for us. What a pal.

Jason couldn't find the matches and improvised. I did not approve

My oldest brother and girlfriend, aren't they cute?

Loot (part of it). He might be a little spoiled.
The grand (pa) finale! Ok a lot spoiled.
It's great to be a boy.


Thank you to everyone who helped (and attended), and all those who sent presents and cards, Levi loved it all. He is such a lucky boy to have so many people who love him.
