Here are some pictures from Luther’s 1 year old birthday celebration:

I think out of all our kids’ 1st birthdays, he was the most entertaining to watch. He put his face in the cupcake, rubbed icing in his hair and eyes, spit the cake out, sucked the icing off his thumb and ate nearly ever last crumb.

I made an ABC painting for him as a gift from our family. It’s hanging in the boys’ bedroom now. I handed it to him and thought it was so funny how he walked around with it, but I panicked that he was going to fall and bust a hole right through the middle, so I snatched it back away from him after snapping a few pictures.

It was a fun time, celebrating his life with our little family. It’s hard to imagine life now without our Luther.

If I were to make prints of it for Etsy, what size should they be? Poster size or 8×10?

I think a poster size would be good! I would love to hang this up in Kaeleb and Toby’s room. I adore the whimsy in your alphabet and think it would be a fun thing for Toby as he learns his letters.

I’d say full size for the alphabet! I bet you could come up with a cute image for the backs of the cards if you went that route too!

You are so like me. I thought “oh, cute. He’s carrying his painting…ACK! What if he breaks it?!” haha. So sweet. LOVE the bright icing on the cupcakes too! How fun! :)
