Today we celebrated our daughter's first birthday. I can hardly believe it! I am so filled with joy and simply
bursting with happiness at this beautiful life we get to celebrate!
I made her a birthday banner to hang up each year during the week of her birthday. Y'all...I'm not crafty. At all. I'm super proud of this! It's far from perfect but
far better than I imagined I was capable of!
 |
| She's holding up one finger to say she's ONE!!! (almost!) |
 |
| So the carrots in pots looked much better in my imagination... |
 |
| BLT and Turkey/Gouda/Caesar lettuce wraps |
 |
| I found adorable plates and cupcake decorations on-line! |
 |
| My sweet friend Annie made this banner to decorate! It's fabric triangles strung together! |
 |
| Sam was a HIT! They had so much fun playing hide and seek and tag! |
 |
We are so blessed with wonderful friends! The invitation list was the hardest part!
We wanted to keep the party small and simple so we didn't overwhelm sweet Abigail. |
 |
| Abigail got her first baby doll from Grammie! She LOVES it!! |
 |
| Look at this gorgeous quilt our neighbor and friend made! It's the fruit of the Spirit!!! |
 |
| My favorite part! Singing to our girl!!! |
 |
| What a beautiful mess! |
 |
| Happy birthday, sweet baby!! |
Thank you, Jesus, thank you for this beautiful girl we get to call "daughter"!!! My heart is bursting with joy and love for her!!!
