Our home bustled with joy as our family gathered together to celebrate the youngest Erickson! Although I tried to keep the party simple, Luke and I put extra effort into the food and made sure to include some of Natalie's favorites (Swedish meatballs to be exact). And to keep with the season, I also made pumpkin bars. Natalie had her own individual "cake" so that she could eat, smash, and enjoy it in whatever manner she wanted all without spreading a one-year-old germ's to the rest of us. You're welcome. :) Her brother and cousins were quick to help her open gifts in between playing with toys and watching Disney's Tarzan. A birthday to remember. "Thank you" to everyone for coming. Natalie, your smile has a way of lighting up our home and we're so blessed and thankful that we were chosen as your mama and dada! We love you forever and ever. :)
