Our one year old!

Our sweet baby girl is one!! 

I never thought I would have so many emotions with her first birthday but I did. I was filled with happiness and excitment for her, but felt so emotional about how quickly a year had passed. If each year goes this fast, she will be off to college in no time.  Realizing this makes me want to concentrate on being present in each moment. Sometimes with the craziness of each day it is easy to miss the beautiful moment in front of your eyes. We are so lucky to have her, she has brought so much joy to our life - can't wait to see what the next few years have in store!

It started getting very hard to get her to lay down on her blanket for a picture...

This will have to do!

 We had a little birthday party for her the weekend before her actual birthday.

 

When she woke up the morning of her birthday party she was so excited about the decorations!

She pointed to the balloons and said "ball"

 

 

 My big girl!

  

 It's Cake Time.....

Lynsey made the smash cake. A bird in it's bird's nest!

 

 

 

 We made heart shaped birdseed ornaments for party favors

On her actual birthday we surprised her in the morning with a wagon.

 She ate her entire cupcake!

 

 Christmas morning was sweeter than ever. Cade enjoyed climbing on her presents more than opening them.

 

 

 Opening more gifts!

That's it for now....
