River's First Birthday

River celebrated his first birthday on November 17 2019! I still can't believe that my baby is ONE like WTF where did time go? Planning his party was actually pretty tough, well the toughest thing was picking a theme. River LOVES animals, so when I saw the theme party animal I knew it was the right theme. I was going to go for a very neutral colour scheme, but Luke was against that haha! He wanted colour and lots of it. So, I brought it we had one colourful first birthday lol. Here are some snaps of the birthday party.
