Tanner's 1st Birthday

Here are the pictures from Tanner's 1st Birthday! Not his party, mind you!! We took so many pictures that it was just better to do 2 different posts!! His birthday was on a Wednesday, but his party was the following weekend!! So I'm apologizing now for how long this is gonna be, but it's so worth it!!

I can't believe Tanner is 1 year old!! The day he was born is still so vivid in my mind. Maybe because it was so traumatic, but none the less, it's still vivid!! This past year with Tanner has been so much fun and there's nothing I would change about it!! Not even his sleeping!! (or lack there of!!) He's growing up so fast and each day is something new with him!! I love staying at home with him and getting to see each new milestone he reaches!!

Birthdays are big events at our house so I'll take you through Tanner's Big Day!!!

When Tanner woke up that morning we had a few happies waiting on him in the kitchen!! After he opened them we sent Daddy off to work and couldn't wait to meet up with him later on!!

Then we got ready and went to Shipley's for donuts!! It was his first time to have them!!

Here goes nothin'!

You don't hafta ask him twice to stuff his face!!

He's like, "Thanks for introducing me to donuts, Mom!! This is the best day of my life!!"

For lunch we met Daddy at the Mexican place!! But we forgot to get a picture with him!!

After a nap we went to the park!! He loves to swing!!

We went back home to meet Daddy for supper and while we were there Tanner's friends from next door, Christian & Carter came to bring him a present since they wouldn't be at the party. It was a riding/walking toy that he LOVES!! And now he's got something to play with outside with the big boys!!

For dinner there was none other than....(drum roll please!) CHUCK E. CHEESE!!!! He'd never been there before so Scotty thought it would be a good idea!! What an understatement!!

I think he rode everything in there more than once!!

By the end of the night he was exhausted!! We took the next few days to get ready for his Big Boy Birthday Party!! Pictures will be up soon!!

Happy Birthday Tanner!! We love you!!
