A Year of Grayson

What a year. We've laughed, we've cried ... we've changed a heck of alot of diapers. My new mantra these days seems to be "i had no idea." I had no idea how amazing parenthood would be. I had no idea I could ever love so much. It's a bit like Christmas everyday. Full of anticipation, surprise and lots of reminders of how much fun life really is. And I know now that you can't even begin to appreciate it until you live it (and give it).

Grayson had several birthday celebrations this year. There was a pre-party with Nana, Gan, the White Family and Charlie & Celeste during our Florida vacation.

Then there was an LA shindig with Mama & Papa Price and our California family. Given this was Grayson's second chance at a birthday cake free-for-all, you would think he would have taken full advantage. But I'm certain Brad and I ended up with more cake on us than he did.

Since two parties just isn't enough and Grayson will only turn one once, we just had to keep the party going with one more cupcake and one last seranade at Portos ... just the three of us.

I can't end this post without a few shout outs to everyone who has been a part of Grayson's life this past year ...

To my family & friends ... a million thanks for all your help throughout the year. We couldn't have done it without you.

To my husband ... a million kisses for just being you and letting me just be me.

To my son ... happy birthday baby. May all your years be as adventurous and may all your birthdays be as joyous. I love you more.

Mom.
