it is hard to believe that oliver jack is officially a year old! sometimes when i would think back at certain points of the season and realize that a year ago he wasn't here i would find myself so shocked. it was also strange to think that i was induced with him so i kept wondering when he would have been born if we did not intervene. 6 days from christmas is close enough...but what if...
we had his party on the saturday of his actual birthday. i made the invitations in september and i actually managed to get most of them out, unless i had to mail them...then, i'm sorry. i had good intentions and i still have invitations with your name on them in my house. the post office is never on my list of places to visit. i still am not quite sure what i was thinking with scheduling the party at 1:00. all of my kids have been either taking a nap or nearing a nap at 1:00 since as long as i can remember. the fact that i decided to throw a party at this time is beyond me. but whatever. i had the invitations printed so there was no going back.
we didn't buy him much. he's a pretty simple kid. all i knew that i wanted was balloons, balls, and bubbles. oh, and cake. anything else would be superfluous for him.
the party was great. we had so much family and quite a few friends and it was just so much fun to hang out so close to christmas.
thanks to my sister in law, allison, i was able to help jack open presents and do some other things without having to worry about taking pictures. it was fun to look at the pictures after everything was over and done with as well...
