John Michael's School Party!

For John Michael's actual Birthday, Ben and I surprised him at school with a party!
We brought the cupcakes, birthday boy bib, birthday hats, and duckies for the kiddos.
John Michael seemed a little confused at first why we where both there, but quickly showed us off to all his friends!

The kids eating:

Of course, the birthday boy didn't want to wear his hat!

But Lucy Did!

John Michael's First Haircut

Ben and I where getting a little concerned about the mullet that John Michael was growing so the week before his Birthday, he got his first haircut! I was nervous about it because the boy does not like to sit still!
After grabbing a nice Chick-fil-a meal, we headed to see "Steve". Steve is so special because he has been cutting Ben's hair since he was three years old! Twenty-seven years later, Ben was bringing his son to get the first haircut! Crazy, huh?

Steve was VERY patient and did a great job on the Haircut! Don't worry....we saved some hair!


All three guys after their Hair Cuts........Three Generations Cut by Steve!

1st Birthday Party

John Michael's 1st Birthday Party was a Success!

We had a close family party at our house. Because both Ben and I come from large families....there was about 20 people there! We are very blessed!

The Menu included the Birthday Boy's Favorite.....Chicken Nuggets from Chick-fil-a.
This is the only family picture we got with all of us looking at the camera!

Ben and I went for a useful present....we got him a backpack....I think he liked it!


We where all very excited about JM digging into the cake. He, however, was not quite sure about it.......

John Michael showed out the entire time (no breakdowns, yay!) and he LOVED playing with all his cousins!

He also enjoyed unwrapping his presents!
