Wow! How has time flown by so fast? Blaine turns 4 tomorrow and had his first class day of CC today! Here is our anti-cooperative first day of school photo...
I can't believe how much our lives have changed since Blaine. Birthdays really spark a happy (and tearful) trip down memory lane for me. I'll share...
One year ago....
For Blaine's third birthday party, my husband and I were recuperating from a very exhausting location move of our business, Mid City Voodoux Tattoos, so I arranged a small family party with some last minute Thomas the Train decorations, cake, everything. Being naturally crafty and loving extreme party planning, this was a little disappointing for me. I'm one of those excessive people that would rather spend a ridiculous amount of time, effort, and money making something by hand that could easily be purchased. However, I was reminded just how little Blaine cares about hand made party decor. He loved his cake and everything else.

Blaine's second birthday party had a little of my crafty twist to it, cupcakes and monkey themed, at the Monkey Room. I felt very accomplished, having a 6 month old baby and getting to still apply a little craftiness.... but apparently very few pictures.

I was pregnant for Vivienne (in my first trimester) for Blaine's first birthday. Everything was brightly colored polka dots and bought online or at Party City. I had no energy. I ordered every single food item, drink, cake.... everything. Again, a little disappointing. I even had it at my mom's house to avoid preparing my house for company.

8 pounds and 1 ounce of the most perfect bundle of pure life changing awesomeness.

Happy Birthday to our big boy! Can't wait to celebrate this Sunday with friends and family!
I am beyond excited that this year, I have the time, energy, and patience to plan a nice party for my favorite little guy.
