Happy Birthday, Peter!!
Yea! Baby Peter is 1 year old!! I can't believe how the time has flown by! We are so blessed by this little baby and everyday we count him as a blessing from our loving Lord. I remember praying so hard for God to give us a child....back after our miscarriage of Ethan that left us wondering if we were even able to have children. BUT GOD is so good! Peter is not only a blessing to us, but a tool in our sanctification. You parents know what I mean. We are blessed beyond our deserving and we are so thankful that God chose to show His lovingkindness to us in the gift of Peter. Thank you, Lord for the way you love us, which permits us to love each other and our son. 
On Friday, his actual birthday, we just celebrated with some family. Nana, G G Marillas, Grandma and Papa Jon were there. We sang and had cake. Little Peter wasn't feeling well, he had a fever. But he still managed to eat some cake. :) The birthday banner we are sitting under is the same one my mom used for me when I was a little tyke!
Do I see a five o'clock shadow?
On the big day of his party, he got to wear his special Spiderman outfit....that was our theme. More for us than him at this point. :)
The party was held at a park across the street from our church....we had 64 people show up to help us celebrate the creation and birth of our son! Wow! We had hot dogs, chips, and birthday cake! We had a blast and it seemed like our guests did too!
Present time was fun. All the kids gathered around Peter and even helped him open the bigger ones. We are so blessed to have such loving friends.
My sister came up from College Station too! We were so happy to have Auntie Jessica there. It's just not a party without my kid sister! :)
Cake time!
I think this picture is so sweet....swinging with Papa Jon. :)
For his present from us, we bought him a little climber as an addition to our "new" backyard. I just love finding good deals on Craigs List!
