James has a big birthday this week – he is turning 12! I am going through old photos and I realized I never posted any of his birthday photos from 2017.
The wisteria is blooming!

I love this series of birthday portraits. 7 years old seems so long ago!

James had a birthday party at Barrel Oak Winery in Virginia (also known as BOW because they are a dog friendly winery!) and his friends Tucker, Maggie and Oliver came to the party:
