The morning of my 32nd birthday and Sonny's 1st birthday was the best ever. We ALL SLEPT IN!! Sonny woke us up at 8...it was paradise getting to sleep in that late!!
The Wendells and I, along with my mom, went out for breakfast at Cops & Doughnuts. The food was very delicious and the cop memorabilia was a beautiful touch. We had fun posing for pictures at the props in the gift shop. Even Sonny enjoyed being locked up in a jail cell!!
Afterwards, Wendell showed me where he will be working. It was nice meeting his coworkers and new employer.
We spent the afternoon organization our house and getting ready for our birthday party. I baked a strawberry poke cake with dream whip icing, which was delicious!
Around 6, Wendell's parents, brother, sister, and their families came over for supper. We feasted on hamburgers, hotdogs, macaroni salad, veggie pizza, and chips.
The children had a blast playing with Sonny's toys. They found my stuffed whales and dolphins and even put on a show for us. They took the stuffed animals into Sonny's room which we dubbed "the ocean"!
Before everyone left, we ate the cake. We had Sonny's smash cake from his PA party so we let him have at it. He was very tentative and ate a little of it. I let his cousins help him and soon 5 small children were digging into it. Very little went to waste!!
I thought mine and Sonny's very first birthday together was special but this one took the cake. He is growing up so fast that sometimes I want it slow down a bit.
I love my life. I love being a wife and mother. This is my life...this is heaven. I couldn't ask for anything else.
