My First Birthday Party (In Houston and at home)

Your first birthday party—ahead of time! Grandma and Tia Marta threw a birthday party for you in Houston. You enjoyed it far more than I ever imagined. You loved eating cake, and you were so careful not to get it on your clothes—which totally amazed me. You loved watching and playing with all the other little kids that were there, and you were so in tune with opening your gifts. You actually pulled paper and gifts out of bags and were interested in the gift more than the boxes—which I was not expecting at all. The only thing is that you are not too big a fan of the piñatas, but that is okay—we’ll warm you up to them and I think once you start enjoying them you’ll wonder why you didn’t like them sooner.



Two weeks later we celebrated your birthday again at home. We threw yet another birthday party and abuela and abuelo were able to be with you. We also had you dedicated at church that weekend. We invited lots of friends with little kids so that they could all come enjoy the celebration! The fun part about your birthday this year is that we got our first snow of the winter, and boy was a snow storm!! On your actual birth day daddy took you out to play in the snow for the first time!! That was fun to watch--you weren't quite sure what to think about it at first, but you got comfortable after a little while.
