Alas, I couldn't stop time.

So, Phoenix's first birthday has come and gone. It was heartbreaking, but he had a good time..and the grandmothers behaved themselves (long story for another post). Now it's time for a photo bomb. These are pictures of the party and the morning after.

This one is without a doubt my favorite. This was the morning after. 

The set-up

A very sleepy birthday boy.

Balloons!

He'll kill me for this picture when he's older.

He wasn't crazy about the mess...at first.

Then he got into it...

Sweet daddy making sure he got to enjoy some of the cake. <3 p="p">

Testing out the goods the next morning.

A trinket box "cupcake" that came on his cake.

I can't believe that I forgot to get "before" pictures of the cakes. I think I was too nervous about having both of our moms in the same house (for the first time since my baby shower) to think about much else. But lo and behold, I think the pictures I got were adorable. And it turned out to be a nice day. Now, excuse me while I go bawl my eyes out over the fact that my sweet baby boy is a baby no more...
