I'm ONE!!


Today is my actual birthday and it was such a GREAT day! We were all pretty tired from my big party yesterday, so we just spent the day together as a family. Started the day off by going to breakfast at the Broken Yolk. Gran Fran and Granddaddy met us there too. So FUN!

When we got home I played with my awesome new car Auntie Tara, Uncle Bryce and Elle got me... Thank you guys!! I miss you all a lot and can't wait to see you soon!

Dad put the car together last night and I'm so happy because I love it... I didn't want to get out!

Then after my morning nap we went to the park and played on the swings. It was a BLAST!!
The rest of the day my parents, Bella and I just played with all my new toys. I'm such a lucky girl!

This is my special birthday outfit Auntie Tara sent me. Isn't it adorable!!





My First Birthday Party

I had such a FUN birthday party with a lot of my friends and family. I'm such a lucky girl to have so many people that care about me.
I love my Granddaddy!
I was asking Granddaddy if I could really have an animal cracker and he actually said YES!!
Sharing animal crackers before everyone showed up.

This is before I noticed my cake and everyone was singing me Happy Birthday.
All of a sudden I looked down and there was a cake in front of me, it was so confusing because I had never seen such a thing!
Hummm... what is this thing?
My first taste, trying to figure out if I liked it.
I decided... I loved it!!
DElicious... I wonder why my mom has been keeping this amazing stuff from me!?!

Uncle Steve with me and Bella!
I even shared some cake with Tutu!
Mom did you see that good sharing I just did??
Elizabeth started helping me and showing me how to use a spoon.
I was licking the icing off my arm.

Me and my parents... I was still focusing on my cake eating there was no time for smiling.
Everyone else got to eat cupcakes for dessert while I dug into my (egg-less) cake.
After the party I crawled (too tired to walk) all around looking for everyone.

Oh, Hi Mom... where did everyone go? I'm still ready to party!

On our way home in my new car seat... I'm such a big girl now!
I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.
