Dylan Turns 0ne

What an event it is to turn one, to celebrate the first year of your existence!  As a first time parent, not only are you celebrating the joy of your son turning one…but as a survivor of the first year!

I am lucky enough to say that we sailed through the first year pretty unscathed. A few bumps and bruises here and there, but overall we are happy to say we succeeded as parents (for the first year!) And what to do for a one year old birthday party you may ask? Well invite 60 of your closest friends and family to eat and drink the night away. So much fun and so many presents with nowhere to put them, guess they will have to be opened in our new home!
