Growing up, my family had an "every other year" tradition when it came to birthday parties. One year you'd have a big, fun, birthday party with all your friends and the next year you'd have a smaller, laid-back, birthday party with just family. Since last year was Jonah's big, first birthday bash, this year was a smaller "just" family" party. (We consider the Batteigers to be in this family category, with Maverick being Jonah's BFF and all, so we had them come too).
We mainly celebrated on Saturday, the 29th, since we had church and life group the next day, on his actual birthday. Chad's mom and brother even ended up being able to come down for the celebration, so that was an added bonus!
Here's some photos from our day...We love our family so much and were so blessed to be able to celebrate two whole years of our sweet Jonah's life with them.
