Happy 1st Birthday!

Yep! That's right! My little bundle of joy turned 1 yesterday! This truly has been the fastest year of my life! I can't believe that a year ago today I was holding the most precious little 1 day old baby I had ever seen in my life and I had not a clue what to do with her! I have learned so much this year not only about being a mommy, but about life! B has taught me patience, she has taught me the importance of stopping what I am doing just to sit and enjoy life, she has taught me perseverance, and she has proven to me that the statement everyone tells new moms,"they grow up way too fast", is really true!

We celebrated her birthday yesterday with a small group of family members and had the best time! What a great day of celebrating her life! She also decided to show off her new walking skills. Yep, we are now walking and I am not sure I am ready for this phase yet because I was already having a hard time keeping up with her when she was crawling a mile a minute!

Below are a couple of pictures from our fun birthday celebration! ( I shared a couple of the decoration pictures that my AWESOME mom and I put together because I am sure that I stole the ideas from someone and I give permission to all who read my blog to steal away my friends!)

 This is a simple wire wreath with ribbon wrapped around it, a huge bow at the top, and pictures of B throughout the year hot glued onto the ribbon. It now hangs on the door in her new playroom!

These are the party favors. Rice krispy treats cut into flower shapes with a popsickle stick on the bottom. We put the kind of icing the hardens on top and put sprinkles on top of that. Center piece of food table.

This is a homemade personalized birthday banner. Also, on the mantle we put pictures from each month of life that we had taken and put bright silk flowers all around.

This is the book that all of our guest wrote in that waited in the waiting room for B's arrival or that came to visit us in the hospital. We decided to put it out each year at her birthday for people to write a special birthday note to B.

B's new ride from her Sassy!A RADIO FLYER! This thing is awesome and she makes her Daddy pull her around in the house!

I would like to introduce Chef Brantley to you!!!!!
