As always, we kept the celebration simple, filled with the things we love and the people we love. We meet my parents and Reece's god parents at a conservation area, not far from our home, for a very cold, wintery hike. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing and Jack Frost was nipping our noses. We walked, talked and laughed, then headed back to our home for a late lunch.
There were a few presents to be opened, some memories shared and time spent just hanging out, celebrating our little man.
A lovely day, and the perfect way to celebrate Reece.
My heart warms up when I read your celebration story!

DeleteHappy Birthday, Reece! I'm sure you had a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteWe did!
DeleteWell I just emailed you and asked about the coolness and I can see here that you do in fact have some chilly days already. I love these photos of your boy looking so happy outdoors with those he loves and really take inspiration from the way you celebrate. We are still trying to figure out how to navigate birthdays in the future to keep them simple and this is good inspiration to add to the mix.
ReplyDeleteWe have had some very chilly days lately. Thank you, he loves being outside. It can be difficult to find the best way to celebrate, but for us, this works and we truly love the simplicity of it.
DeleteHappy birthday!! <3
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful celebration! Happy birthday :)
ReplyDeleteI remember walking in the snow in the open mesas of New Mexico. What fun. I'm glad Reece was ok with waiting till after his birthday to celebrate. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is fun, this was the first snowfall to stay on the ground, so it made it pretty special for Reece. He had no problem waiting, we did after all have a little celebration on his birthday just the three of us. He was pretty happy to know there was another one coming :)
DeleteKim, this is absolutely beautiful. xxoo
ReplyDeleteHe has such a darling face! Happy Birthday Reece!
ReplyDeleteAlways love to visit your blog and see your beautiful life. Happy belated birthday to your little man! :)
