We shared Gabriel's first birthday with grandpa and several of our friends, including Arnie and Krissa, Lisa, Gabi's babysitter and some of Gabriel's friends from daycare. Acadia-Rose came with her parents as did Maurice, Mia, and Casey and Annabelle. Other friends included Elisa and Jorge, Gabi's future godparents, Lisa, Kelly, and Lindsay.
The kiddos enjoyed running around in the field and playing on the playground, swinging, sliding, and climbing on the playground equipment.
Gabi's favorite part of his party was definitely the Elmo cake. The look on his face when he saw his cake was priceless as was watching him eat it.
Gabi loved opening his gifts as did several of his friends who shared in the events of giftwrap and tearing into all the presents.
After all the playing around and eating and gift opening kiddos were getting tired left and right so home for naps we all went. Gabi caught a quick snooze in the car but once we arrived home the birthday boy was recharged and ready to play with all his toys.
A message to our son:Happy 1st Birthday little guy!!! Mommy and daddy can't believe that an entire year has gone by already. You've made us so happy,proud and complete knowing that we are the parents to such a beautiful, smart, happy, and loving boy. We are the luckiest parents on the planet!!! What a great day, beautiful weather, fun with family and friends, no better way to share YOUR day with those that love you. It was just yesterday that I was holding my newborn son and not aware of how wonderful parenthood would truly be. It's been an amazing year and we can't wait for the rest of our lives with you and the many birthdays to come. Love you lots and lots
