Top 10 Tuesday - Jace's 1st Birthday

The details on my top 10 pictures from Jace's 1st Birthday! =)

This first one is cheating a bit since it's a collage, but whatever.  It was his first haircut that morning (Mom took these - the haircut was at 8am and I was definitely still sleeping!)  My favorites are the two at the bottom left -- he's crying and so distraught, but then he grabs the mirror from Rach and seeing himself cheers him right back up... ahh, life is good again. lol  He loves looking at himself in a mirror, and that just really makes me laugh! :)  And for whatever reason, I also love that he's in his bright and cozy little PJs.

T & C were excited to help him blow out his one candle! lol  I love this pic because it's a candid 'action shot' that their whole family is in, plus the cute cake and all the fun birthday hats!

Jace and his "smash cake" - I love it that he was so disgusted by the texture of the icing.  He did not care much for the taste of it either.

 Just a random pic of him chewing on the edge of the coffee table - I love his blue eyes and that I was able to get him to look up at me, and that his face is reflected in the table. =)

Possibly a strange choice, but this is Kristin's tattoo for her son (baby Anthony) who suffers with heart problems, so I asked if I could take a picture of it.  Obviously, I'm not a tattoo person, but I think this one is pretty meaningful and I love the heart and heartbeat design!

I tried about 10 times to get a good picture of all the boys jumping at the same time!  Fail... my camera was being hesitant and super-irritating.  This is one of my favorites, though.  The boys were very willing to participate in this photo op - I love that Ethan grabbed a pirate sword and that Kaden looks like he's about to dive into a pool here! :)

My bells palsy eye was in fine form that day - I could feel it being abnormal, and there are 3 pics that I cropped myself right out of - but in this one, I was looking down at Jace, which makes the picture more genuine and better all around.  (Also, I'd gotten my hair done two days before, and I'm pretty happy with the red/blond/brown combo, so that helps too! lol) 

Halfway through Rach opening Jace's birthday presents, Emily pointed out (with the perfect amount of sarcasm) that with all the kids running around the party, JoBug and Babah were the only ones there still wearing their party hats!  :)  Soooo funny! 

I like this back-to-back shot of Rach holding Jace and Ariel holding Jasmine.  (Captioning that on FB was the first time I realized they both have Disney princess names, which made me laugh!  It's cute, but I know I would feel cheesy.)

And finally, this was just part of the party decor that I really liked - bright and colorful and fun and cute!  Everyone was able to take some gumballs as a parting gift. lol
There are plenty of other great pics, but these are my "top 10."  

And now, wish me luck as I finish writing my last LLP for school today!! =)
