We had your birthday party on the 23rd at the park near our house. Hannah calls it regular park. There is a picnic area that I decorated to look like a jungle. Mommy had 30 foot crate paper vines with leaves coming out of them sitting in our garage for weeks. They looked great on the ceiling. There were animal centerpieces with jungle grass, an adorable monkey cake made with love by Auntie Laura, home made food, jungle balls for the kids to play with and your personal favorite blow up jungle animals which you have been carrying around our house for the past week. I was so happy with how the party turned out. We had about 40 guests, of family and friends and everyone was there because they love you little man. You were spoiled with lots of presents. Your sister was very excited that she got to help you blow out your candle and open your gifts. I later asked her if she made a wish for you when she blew it out. She said she wished you would walk. Mommy's wish for you is always the same. I wish that your heart is filled with happiness. You seemed to enjoy looking around and taking it all in. I hope it made you feel loved. Mommy had so much fun planning this day for you sweet boy and it's a day I will never forget. Special thanks to Nana and Gramps who without complaint are willing to help in anyway. I truly couldn't have pulled it off without your help. Also thank you to Auntie Laura who spends hours making sure the cake is the most adorable thing ever and most importantly made from the heart. Also to Granny for her great photographs and endless help and to every family member and friend who loves my son. You all mean the world to me and I'm sure at some point during this last year I have leaned on you each in some way. For that, I am forever grateful. It takes a village they say, and I am surrounded by the best!

too funny
I tried to think of a clever way to end the blog, but there is only one thing that seems right to say.
MOMMY LOVES YOU JACK BRYANT FOREVER AND ALWAYS!
