Happy First Birthday to My Baby Boy!

January 3, 2012 by Katie Filed Under: Family Life 6 Comments

One year ago today at 2:30pm, 10 days after his due date of Christmas Eve, we welcomed an amazing little man into our world: Everett Girouard

FRESH out of the gate...first picture!

Everett, thank you for bringing us such joy this last year. Thank you making me a mother of a SON, for making us parents of TWO, and for making Esella a big sister. She loves you dearly!

Thank you for giving your great-grandmother her second great-grandson.

We have loved this little face from the moment we first saw it…

 

Your smile is adorable and your laugh contagious. We love you buddy. Here are some pictures from the last year…

Happy Birthday to the BEST son we could ever ask for! WE LOVE YOU BUDDY!

Love Daddy, Mommy, and Big Sister Ellie

    I love the picture of your hubby, E, and Ellie…her hair made me laugh (in a good way) because it looks like Ellen Degeneres and her shag cut! Love your family 🙂
