Jeremy's Birthday

We celebrated Jeremy's birthday with just the four of us on Saturday. Jason and I weren't feeling too well, so we initially thought it'd be a mellow day. After some thought, we actually decided to do something none of us have ever experienced- we went to the Big Fresno Fair! More details about that in a later post. After spending several hours there, we came home for cake and presents before the kids went to bed. Jeremy was so wiped out, we didn't think he'd wake up! It took some time, but he finally did wake up.
One of our many nicknames for Jeremy is "Jer-Bear," and so with that, I made him a bear-themed cake. After singing to him and letting him try all of that sugar and chocolate, it was evident he wouldn't make it through the opening of his presents. So, he actually opened them up yesterday. I took Grace to the Dollar Tree to get her brother a gift. It was very sweet- she got him some bath toys. I know he won't remember, but I will always remember the special time our family had celebrating the first birthday of our Jeremy!
