What is a birthday?


This past weekend, we had Darren's first birthday party. Although we didn't do much other than have family and friends over for lunch and cake. But it was amazing to see all the family and friends that love us, more so I am sure love Darren. He is the best of Dan and I put together.




It was tough planning a first birthday party, he is only one. To me it is a big deal! I got the occasional comments about how he isn't going to remember it, but who are they to judge. They haven't been through what I have in the last year. They have no idea what Darren has over come to still be here today!




So to me a birthday is family celebrating there first son, grandson, nephew and godson turning one. It doesn't matter that he won't remember that his little play mates played pin the tale on the donkey. Or that Buckeye helped himself to the cake before the party started (I almost cried!) Or that he got this toy from that person or that toy from this person. But we will be able to some day tell him about it, and the funny things that happened. Plus not to mention that a picture is worth a million words!




Happy First Birthday Darren! Mommy and Daddy love you so much...
