November

November is always a fun and busy month and this year was no exception.  We were supposed to be in KC for Thanksgiving this year but having just gotten back from Melissa's wedding, I couldn't possibly fathom flying again in the near future with Mr. Jack.  It was a hard decision to make, but after 2 months of straight traveling, we decided to stay home.  Skye's birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year, and earlier in the month Brit, Breck, and I took the girls to Yo Gabba Gabba Live to celebrate Miss Skye turning 2.  Also, our first snowfall came at the beginning of November and the kids couldn't wait to get outside and play in it.  November is one of my favorite months...I just love the hustle and bustle of the beginnig of the holiday season, but at the same time its the perfect time of year to spend quiet nights cuddling at home with the fam!

And what would a FIRST birthday be without a visit to Paige Davis for ONE YEAR OLD pictures and a fun CAKE SMASH?!  Here are a few of my favs...

Jack turns ONE!

I can't believe my little man is ONE!  And what a fun day to celebrate your 1st birthday, 11/11/11!  Jack is such a sweet, fun, happy kid.  I never dreamed I would love having a little boy as much as I do.  He's an avid (and quite good) stair climber, a very speedy crawler, and he loves his blanket and his big sisters.

My dad came in town to celebrate his birthday, and we had a fun little pirate party for him. He loved his cake, his presents, and even all the attention!

Happy 1st birthday little buddy, we could not LOVE you more! xoxo

The birthday boy!
