we are now proud owners of a 1 year old!

i cannot believe that it has been a full year since micah was born. this year has been such a blessing to our little family. we are so thankful for our little guy, his wonderful personality and mild temperament :) we celebrated with family in napa and i made an extra special 1st birthday cake for him, which he enjoyed FULLY!

josh surprised me this week by having our friend amy come over to take some awesome family photos for us. here's a little preview of them, and i've posted a ton on flickr for family and friends to order if they'd like :)

thanks amers! you're the best! :) :) :)

beanie boy... literally

here we are getting ready to go down to the americana outdoor mall for the big christmas tree lighting. unfortunately it was so overcrowded that the fire marshall wasn't allowing anymore people to enter. :( thankfully amy was here to take some cute pics of the beanie boy so we didn't get all dressed up for nothing!
