Grayson's Golden First Birthday

What a fun year it has been watching our little Grayson grow!  He is definitely like a little pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.   When he arrived late in the evening of December 1st, I knew immediately we would have to do something special for his golden first birthday.  Golden birthdays are a fairly new celebration.  I, of course, had no clue about them on my fifth golden birthday.  Evan and Brody won't have a golden birthday until they are 27 and 29.  We will actually get to celebrate another one very soon with Mattox's 3rd birthday.  You may have figured out that your golden birthday is the one that falls on the date of your birthday.  If you are born on the 1st, your golden birthday is your first.  I just think that was so perfect for our little Grayson.  Mattox was our little rainbow baby, and Grayson is our little pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.  I made Grayson's little birthday outfit and hat and his cake for his birthday pictures and smash cake at home.  Since we had just returned from our big Disney vacation, we didn't do a big birthday party, but we did meet our family in Columbia, SC to celebrate together.  Here are Grayson's birthday pictures: 

He loved his balloons!

Big brothers were a big help showing him how to blow out his candle and eat his cake. 

He wasn't a big fan of getting his hands dirty, but he didn't mind using a spoon.

Even cuter with icing on his face. 

Sweet baby face!

Happy Birthday, Big Boy!  Thank you for being our baby!
