Peter's 1st Birthday Week!
Our Little Peter, who has definitely made life Sweeter...just turned One Year Old!
Wednesday March 23, 2011
After we heard his adorable little chatter and jibber talking that he does every morning when he wakes up after a good rest, Thad and I walked into his room singing happy birthday! He squealed to see us and we had to take a picture with his Daddy!
It was a fun day as Thad went to study, and Peter and I went to "Old Play group." Every Wednesday we get together with some friends with grown children, and we do projects. This week we help the Stake Relief Society President Jana Jones make some Bead Winter Quarter Temples for a conference coming up. We had done that for Young Women a few years ago, so it was fun to be remembering and together again. I love these ladies and the marvelous things they do and teach me. And they love Peter. We took my new favorite Cinnamon rolls for a birthday treat.
All day long I just thought about how blessed my life is. In each year it gets better. Childhood, High School, College, Mission, Marriage, and now Children. It's better than ever before. I am so grateful Heavenly Father sent Peter to our home. He is a delight to be with everyday. I love to do things with him. He makes me laugh, cry, serve others, smile, pray, and feel the spirit through his countenance. I want him to always know who he is. A son of God. With so much potential to do good and be the man Christ would have him be. And although his work started a long time ago, his mortal probation has just begun. And it will go super fast! I am so glad I get to be a part of it! I love you Peter!
After Thad came home from studying, we had Hawaiian Haystacks and then I had a Stake Young Women's Meeting. Afterwards we had our first birthday cake...Strawberry Shortcake with real whip cream. It's one of our favorites and I thought fun for Peter's first. We lit the "1" candle and put it on top while we sang. Then he digged in! He loved it! And it wasn't too greasy to clean up! He also posed with a #1 finger for the Camera. He's got it down, and points to himself. He is so funny!
Then we opened presents. Cute grandparents had sent him gifts and cards. So sweet. We also got him a big and small ball, a musical "vacuum"roller thingy, the Leapfrog alphabet refridgerator phonics magnets, and bathtub alphabet and number foams. He received books, and flashing light up toys, match box cars, trucks etc. We were spoiled.
As you can see, he also loves balloons. The local grocery store gives out balloons at the check out, and so we have a little collection this week. :) You'll see more of those in posts to come!
Peter is a blessing to our lives! I am so glad he was born!
Many more years to come! This was a grand beginning!
Loves Mommy :)
