Jimmy * Esther * Zeke * Lilly

Marissa has lots of animals at her house, and Zeke loved them all!

Zeke wasn’t too sure he wanted to actually ride one of the miniature horses.

Marissa’s baby horse was my favorite! It was so tiny, and cute!

Jimmy and I decorated the house when Zeke went to bed the night before his birthday. When Zeke woke up the next morning, he was so excited to see his birthday decorations!

Sam came to spend the day with our favorite little guy!

Gina made this awesome cake, and it tasted just as good as it looked! If anyone wants her contact info, let me know.

We played guess how many Goldfish crackers are in the sippy cup, there were 147. Zeke was trying to drink them out.

We also played was baby bottle bowling, it was really cute. Kaela won a prize for this game by getting a strike!

I think everyone’s favorite part was watching Zeke eat his cake. He gave us all the best show!

Here’s a video, and I apologize for the shakiness of it, I was laughing too hard to keep the camera still

These two pictures are of the fun things Zeke got for his birthday. I am really excited to try out his big boy car seat, and he weighed 20 pounds at his 1-year Dr. visit, so he can face forward! Yay!

Sam’s sweet grandpa gave Zeke this fun giraffe toy, and we found this really cute “Tails” book and little caterpillar toy on our doorstep, and we don’t know who to thank for it. If it was anyone who reads this, please let me know, that was really thoughtful :-).

It was such a fun day, and Jimmy keeps saying Zeke seems so much older now that he’s 1! He does seem more like a toddler now. It’s been our best year ever having our baby boy with us, he’s the greatest blessing we could have ever hoped for!

Happy first birthday Ezekiel James! We love you so much!!
