Happy Valentines Day!!!

What every single man does on Valentines Day...

Birthday Boy!!!

I can't believe my little baby is already one year old!!!

It's kinda a BIG deal,

which is why I made such a big deal about it :)

Finn had a very busy and FUN 1st birthday week...

Finn invited all of his cute little friends over

for an awesome 1st birthday bash!

He stayed up so long partying

and got such a sugar high from the cupcakes

he crashed as soon as his last friend left the party :)

Then we threw our little monster a "little MONSTER" party

with the whole family.

Finn had fun opening all his awesome birthday presents :)

Thanks everyone!!!

Grandma Burns helped me sew this cute cape

for our little monster

I think he loves it :)

He also loved smashing into his monster cake

as you can tell haha

Finn didn't stay up long enough to get out and enjoy the snow,

but everyone else did...and boy was it fun!!!

and why would we stop at just two parties?

Since Finn is way cooler or just as cool as the Supper Bowl,

my family threw him another little Birthday/Super Bowl Bash!!!

He got even more birthday presents.

and even more birthday cake.

I just hope Finn doesn't expect this kind of birthday every year haha

We sure love ya little man

and hope you had an awesome 1st year :)

I know we sure did!!!

once upon a time...

I was a working woman!!!

And then I wasn't...

It's like I packed up my entire life in that "huge" box

when I left that job :)

That is literally everything I had at my desk.

As you can tell, I made myself at home.

born to do great things!!!

our little "Baby Einstein"

We started this New Year off right...

We spent the beginning of the night

bowling with the Branch family!!!

I Megan won the first game :)

Just thought I would throw that out there.

and then we rang in the New Year

with this cute couple!!!

with this cute little guy!!!

(who stayed up till midnight might I add)

and with each other!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful New Year :)

HAPPY 2010

Sledding with Papa

Papa took the little kitties sledding Branch style...

Finn loved ridding on the 4 wheeler

Finn even got to ride on the sled for a bit with the "big kids"

can't I have a little bit of fun too?

We all had such a blast sledding with Papa :)

Thanks Papa!!!

it's the most wonderful time of the year!!!
