Nate's Winter ONEderland

 20 December 2013

As soon as I found out I was pregnant with Nate and a December due date was determined I knew what the theme of his first birthday would be.  A Winter ONEderland.

Like all of Autumn's birthdays we held the party at our house (just another reason why this house will be so hard to part with one day).

I have determined one thing about birthday party planning. It's like labor. You (or at least I) forget how much work it is until you start doing it again. Then it all comes back to you, a little too late.
