Parky Turns One.

Our sweet Parker turned one on New Years Eve. We celebrated him with a color bash. Each person came in their assigned color. We had colored cupcakes, every color of crush soda, all the colors fruit provides, and all the colors that tortilla chips come in.
{I got made fun of for my lack of color; let's just say in all the madness of getting things cleaned and ready I forgot to wash my colored shirt.} I had to take Parker in to get some shots. When the nurse saw his birth date she said, that must have been the worst New Years celebration ever. I couldn't have felt differently. It was the most memorable, special New Years I will probably ever experience. At his party we did an exact count down to the moment Parker was born. As we counted down from ten I couldn't finish because I was so overwhelmed at the amount of joy this precious little boy has brought to our home. Truly, I am so blessed to be his mother. One of the games we played was Parker or Caden. I constantly {at least twice a week} get asked if they are twins. This baffles me since Parker is about 1/2 Caden's size and has zero hair but they do look alike. Here's a sample. :)

One.Two.Three.Four.Five.Bryan came up with the brilliant idea of getting a colorful parachute as one of the party games. Seriously, I felt like we were in pre-school again. It was fantastic! Seriously. :)Parker got to sit in the center and get paraded around. He looked like he felt pretty important.
We even got some sliding action going on.

The party turned out exactly as we'd hoped. Parker is one lucky boy to be surrounded by so much family love near and far. And we are one lucky family to have him.
