What a day.

What a week actually. James had family and friends come from San Jose, Las Vegas, San Diego, and all over this big city to celebrate his big 'first' on Sunday.

He got to hang out with his buddies at the park. (and was mesmerized by the nearby airplanes from the Santa Monica airport).

He got to see his pretty cousins.

He even got his face on the side of a lemonade bottle!

All and all, the day was very special. The whole family came together and did so much to make it a success. Zac hand made cars and guitars, my mother in law whipped up some amazing pasta salad, pops (my father in law) helped Zac man the grill, my mom took the baby on a stroll to nap during the party, the Zunos donated a tent and tables, and my best friend Jon drove in my grandmother and aunt from Las Vegas to be there.

What's the saying? It takes a village? Well, James, you've got a whole village of people who love you and would do anything to celebrate you turning 1 year old!

Happy birthday again, baby! And thanks everyone who came and celebrated. It means so much to us.
