Sorry it has taken me so long to update on the party, but we have been busy little bees with Christmas and everything else. Evan really had a very special 1st birthday party surrounded by lots of family and friends. He is so lucky to have been born into both of our families and to be surrounded by so many people that love him. He is truly a blessing to Jimmy and I and we are so proud to be his parents. Here are some pics from the party, Enjoy!
So our sweet little boy turned one on Wednesday! I'm still in total shock that he is one already. When I look back at baby pictures, it amazes me how much he has changed and grown. About 8:30 Tues night, Jimmy and I reminisced about where we were and what we were going through last year at that time. We are so happy to have a happy healthy boy with us today a whole year later. He has brought so much joy and happiness to our lives and I know he will continue to do that every day.
Due to the rainy day, we spent the day just hanging out and playing. That evening, we went to dinner with our family and Evan got to enjoy his 1st birthday cake. He loved it! I can't wait for the party on Sunday so he can dig in again. Here are some pics from Wednesday and I'll post more after the party on Sunday.
I started this blog so that all of our friends and family could keep up with the Hicklins! We welcomed a new son, Evan John Hicklin into our lives on December 2,2008 and every day has been so special with him. We never knew how much love you could have for a baby until we met him. He brings so much love and joy to our lives and we look forward to many years together.
"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
