My little man turned 1 this past weekend. I can't believe how fast his 1st birthday approached. I spent the last few weeks getting everything organized, planned and ready for his Birthday Party and really wanted everything to be perfect for him. Sadly, Roman came down with a horrible cold virus all week and was not really in the mood to party. You quickly realize that no matter how perfect you plan, in the end all that really matters is your babies happiness. I felt so bad for him all day as he was really was not his normal happy self. But I was reminded that everyone was here to celebrate him and was just happy to be there.
We did a jungle animal theme and we were so happy to have good weather. The day before it was pouring rain and I worried that our friends and family just wouldn't fit inside our small house. Thankfully the sun was out and it was the perfect day to spend outside.
The true highlight of the day was watching Roman eat his chocolate cake. He really hasn't had any sweets until this and he couldn't get enough. I think he inherited the Lietz sweet tooth. It was so fun to watch him experience the joys of dessert.
Pop perfected another cake masterpiece. He made Roman a mini cake and then a big monkey cake for everyone else. They were perfect and delicious.
He got spoiled with lots of fun gifts. Trucks, toys, swimsuits, clothes, a water table, tent and even a swing/slide. What a lucky boy!
It was so fun to have our family and friends here to help celebrate Roman. I always feel so lucky to have such an amazing and supportive family and also such loving friends. All of these people were such big supports during this first year and we are so appreciative of each and every one of them.
Thank you to everyone that helped out, especially my parents, Betty and Bob, Ryan and Lauren and Jason. I couldn't have done it without you. Lauren got stuck making macaroni and cheese for 50. We underestimated the amount of time that it would take and yes, we had some leftovers for a few days.
Happy Birthday, our sweet Roman! You have brought us such love, happiness, laughter and fun. This year has been the best of our lives and we look forward to many more celebrations ahead.
