Happy Birthday to my Babies!

On Sunday, my two babies celebrated their birthdays- Allie's first, and Marshall's twenty-ninth! Can't believe my baby girl has been with us for a whole year already- what a wonderful year it has been. To celebrate, on Saturday we invited some friends and family over for some pizza and cupcakes. We had such a great time and were so grateful the weather held up so we could have the party out in our backyard, like we had planned. Thank you to everyone who came- it was so much fun having you here with us to celebrate this special day- thank you for your thoughtfulness. We had so much fun!

Gearing up to dive in!



Mmmm...chocolate!
It didn't take her long to figure out how to dig right in! That's my girl!

Opening presents

Multitasking

Sunday morning with Nana- the two most beautiful women I know.


Gotta love the cupcake balloon!

How I love this girl!

Cute little apron- a sweet gift made by Grandma Beth

Nana and her Cupcake

Nana made her a giant cupcake cake- it was so yummy! (what was left of it, anyway...)

Now we're talking!

The "before" shot

The Chamberlains (minus one)

Melissa and Luc came- it was so fun to see them again!

Michelle and Gavin McCullough (and oh my gosh- Michelle wins the prize for best party treat for bringing her chocolate covered pretzels with popcorn- they were to DIE for!)


My tiny birthday girl!

Thanks again to everyone who came and helped and made this day so special for me and my family. We feel so very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family who love and support us so well. A special thank you to Nana for coming and spending the weekend with us, and for loving and putting up with a stress-case daughter! You have a way of making everything so much fun! To those of you who were not able to make it- you were missed and we hope to see you again soon. Thank you all so much for your thoughtful cards and gifts- we are so blessed and grateful to have you all in our lives.
