The Birthday Boy

It's hard to believe that Jackson is already 1!!  Time goes by so fast!!  We got to celebrate with Jackson and 100 of his closest family and friends.  That's right 100 people were invited to the party.  This boy sure has a lot of people that love him.  Josh and I have felt so blessed to get to watch him grow over the past year.  It has been neat to see how one little baby can bring so many people so much Joy.  Amy and Josh and their families have been through a lot of hard things this year and it's amazing how God has used Jackson to bring them so much Joy in the midst of trying times.  Their family has a special birthday prayer that they say at every birthday,  I had never heard anything like it.  It was very touching and even made me tear up because this little boy is just so special!!  
Like most 1 year olds, Jackson was not sure about this whole cake thing, or maybe it was the huge group of people staring and him with cameras...
He figured it out!
It was such a fun party that the Birthday Boy had to take a nap before he opened his gifts.
Is he not just the cutest!?!?
We love you baby Jackson!
