First Birthday Party!!

December 29, 2013

James is officially ONE! Our baby is ONE?! What a quick year!

We were lucky to be able to celebrate James's very first birthday party with lots of family and friends. James had a great day! Thank you to all who were able to be with us to share in his special day.

James is ONE lucky little man.

Thank you all for celebrating with us! We will come visit you soon!

COUSINS!!

Yay! James was finally able to meet some of his extended family this holiday season!

We loved being able to spend time with everyone (especially our adorable nieces and nephews!). A big thanks to Phil's cousins, Amy and Brent for hosting all of us. James loved watching "the big kids" in action and didn't mind getting right in the middle of it all. We wish we all lived closer. Trying to catch up in just a few days always leaves you wanting more. Oh well... looks like we will just have to go make visits to California and South Carolina to spend more time with all of you!!

Thank you for making the big trip - we were so lucky to be able to celebrate James' 1st birthday with you too (more pictures of those to come). We love you!

Always on the move these days

Playing hide and seek with Andrew

(Of course, James was attracted to this Santa statue, like a magnetic)

Where's James? Visiting "Tanta," again, of course.

Christmas Day

James is such a joy to be around. Christmas was definitely extra special this year. We are very blessed to have him around to entertain us (and, keep us on our toes)! Our perfect little Christmas gift.

Christmas Eve Wisch

 

Celebrating Christmas Eve at Grandma & Grandpa Wisch's

A visit is never complete without jamming out on the guitar with Grandpa Wisch!

And, we were able to make a very special visit to see Great Grandma Pauline. The look on her face when she saw James was priceless - a wonderful holiday gift. What a sweet moment we shared!
