| Special thanks to brave hubby for holding the pinata while kids swung wildly with their bats. |

I initially didn't want to throw Baby Chuck a party. (Does that make me a bad mommy? Hopefully not.) I didn't want a birthday party because I figured Baby Chuck wouldn't really remember anything... so why spend the money or put the effort in? (Ay, I'm so cheap.) But then I changed my mind after talking with some relatives. It only took a bit of convincing and Pinteresting before I was on-board. (Anytime there's a craft to be made, count me in!)
Looking back I'm really glad that we did it. Hubby and I got to celebrate the fact that we kept a baby alive for a whole year. Wowzers. Tita Tina, Ana, and I got a chance to craft. Yes! Baby Chuck will have lovely photos to look at one day. Hooray! And our young guests got a chance to let loose and enjoy themselves. Score!
You know what? Here's my deep thought of the day:
There are so many tough and sad things in this world. Life would be better if we threw more parties and celebrated.
(Thanks Sam for taking these beautiful photos.)
