Soren’s 1st Birthday Party

Sun, 26 Feb 2012 20:23:28 -0800

I guess it is a better late then never, but here are some pictures from Soren’s 1st birthday party. We had the party in February so that my parents could be there for the celebration. He was also joined by his Aunty Marla, Great Grandma Elsie, Great-Great Aunt Amanda and 10 of his little buddies and their parents. We had a really fun time celebrating Soren’s first year! We attempted to get a group picture with all the kids on the couch, but that ended with many tears and no picture. That is the reason for the sad faces above!! We had a ton of food and a huge delicious cake that Aunty Marla made, that I am pretty sure weighed more then Soren!!

Thank you to everyone who was part of this special day!!

Soren turns One!!

Hard to believe Soren turned one this month. What a crazy and fun year we have had together, experiencing life as a family of three. We have thoroughly enjoyed each month and what that stage brought and can only imagine what this next year will bring.

Soren had his first encounter with a cupcake on his birthday, and as you can see from the last picture, he was NOT a big fan. With a big dramatic gag, he spit it all out!! It was fun to watch anyways.

We are going to be celebrating Soren’s birthday with a party with all his little friends in a couple weeks when my parents are in town. We are going to be celebrating Cat in the Hat style, so it should be a lot of fun!

Sorry about the crazy hair. Sometimes it is a bit out of control, and it seems that we forgot to tone it down before taking the pictures!!

Christmas in Mexico

Tue, 3 Jan 2012 21:06:07 -0800

We were lucky enough to be able to celebrate Christmas in Mexico this year with the Koop family. We had such a fun time with Ryan’s family for the holidays. The resort was beautiful and the food was delicious, however the whether was a little chillier then expected! But, nonetheless, we had a wonderful time relaxing. With all the eager volunteers to hang out with Soren, we had lots of time to sit in the sun and relax. Soren did really well traveling the whole time, and he clocked his 16 flight on this trip!
