Happy Birthday One Year Old!!!!!

I can hardly believe that a year has gone by since I gave birth to my beautiful little girl!! It almost makes me cry to think that she is no longer a baby, although she will always be my baby!! Wow, how they grow so fast and how big she has gotten!! It's amazing what happens int he first year of life, from not being able to defend for themselves, to getting into EVERYTHING!! She is such a joy to be around, even if she can drive me a little nuts every now and then! She eats like a pig and loves her brother. She loves her Mommy and Daddy too, but I think that she and Bobby will always have a special bond, or at least I can hope right now!

Yesterday, on her birthday, we went out to dinner. Beca came to town on Wednesday night and Grandmom and Grandpop got here yesterday afternoon. She was the little princess we all know her to be! She got to open one present from us yesterday, we figured she's have plenty to open at the party! She screamed for french fries, and chowed some quesadilla! When we got home we sang her Happy Birthday and she got a cupcake with a candle in it!! She really did try very hard to blow the candle out, but Bobby was there to help out and did it for her!! She at the entire cupcake and enjoyed every second doing so!!



Her party was today and it was great to have everyone come and celebrate!! We had a Minnie Mouse theme going one and she had a cute outfit to wear for it! All the kids made shakers with empty bottles, which they enjoyed playing with!! The kids also played "Put the Bow on Minnie", which Kayla won and got an extra prize in her goody bag. Then we ate, pizza, veggies, and chips!! We opened her gifts next. She got lots of really cute clothes and shoes! She also recieved a few new books, and a couple toys!!! Cake time was next and she enjoyed her little bow cake! I had all the older kids blow out the candles on the BIG cake and Bobby helped Amaryllis blow the candle out on her cake! Everyone enjoyed the cake and then it was time to clean up and head home!!! Amaryllis was so exhausted when we got home that she took almost a 3 hour nap!!! She was such a good girl the entire day!! I think that she had fun at her first birthday party!! Thanks to everyone that came to celebrate with us!!!
