Keegan and the white stuff...

Well, once again we got hit with more snow. I am predicting this will be our last substantial amount of snow we get for the winter, but Kevin disagrees. I just hope I am right. We, meaning Keegan and I, have cabin fever pretty bad. He is tired of being in the house and so am I. So, Keegan called Kevin on Friday and asked him to come home early so we could all go out and play in the snow. That is all Kevin needed to hear...he was home pronto!!! So, we bundled ourselves up and out we went!




My mom, a.k.a. Nana, bought Keegan a sled for Christmas. We decided to take him on a trip around the yard and he loved it. We even knocked on our neighbor's door and let her witness Keegan out playing in the snow. She got a good chuckle.




And of course we had to play in the snow!

Happy First Birthday Keegan!

On Saturday, we invited friends and family over to our house to celebrate Keegan's first birthday. We were actually hosting the party as a thank you to our friends and family for helping us during this first year. Raising a child is tough, so to have an army of people helping you, means the world to Kevin and I.

I had sandwiches, chips, and fruit for lunch and then cake and ice cream for dessert. The cake was....well...AWESOME! I searched on the internet for cakes and came across one that I loved. I brought it to the bakery that did our wedding cake and they did a fabulous job. Take a look for yourself...






Not only did the cake look awesome, it tasted amazing! It had two flavors: yellow cake with chocolate mouse and marble with chocolate fudge! Yeah...we love our sweets around here!

Keegan did well with his personal birthday cake. He did not go too crazy, but he did enjoy the sweet taste.

Overall, the party was great. We really adore our family and friends. I hope our family and friends in Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., New York, know we missed you on Saturday and also know that you have played a HUGE role in Keegan's life! We are blessed to be surrounded by such caring individuals. We are told many times what a happy baby Keegan is...and it is because of all the love of his family and friends. Thank you to each and everyone of you....
