Happy Birthday Gavin!!

My oldest is Seven today!! Man this past year has really flown by. Seven years ago today I was writhing in pain!!! 25 hours of pain, to be exact. He finally decided to make his entrance into the world at 8:02 pm, by C-section. The party is over...the cake and ice cream are devoured...the new toys are being put to good use. Happy Birthday my sweet boy!!!

Ice Stickles were applied to the butterfly to make her shimmer. I big HUGE shout out to Valerie Stangle. She posted to her blog a bow tying video...I am now tying perfect bows!! Yeah Val!!!
