Happy Birthday to Zach!

Zach turned 1 on Thanksgiving this year. We celebrated in San Francisco, but I really wanted to make him his own cake also, so we had another celebration this past weekend. He's an amazing 1 year old. He's so interested in everything- he loves to try to put things together and tries to figure out how everything works. He is such a happy, smiling kid!

warning- overload of pictures

Seeing as I haven't updated this blog since the beginning of October, I am including a lot of pictures! We went to San Francisco for Thanksgiving this year and had an absolute blast. Here are some pictures (and others):

Celebrating Zach's first birthday (is anyone surprised that he enjoyed the ribbon and wrapping paper more than the actual present?)

Hanging out with Meg's cousin, Mary:

Yum!

Lilly enjoyed Boudin's bread:

The kiddos dressed for Halloween (the skunk outfit was too small, but way too cute for me not to put him in it for a picture)
