Yes, our sweet girl turned ONE yesterday! It was a wonderful day of celebrating her life and the gift God blessed us with when she entered ours.
Here are some pics of the festivities!
Gotta love Costco's flower bouquets.
And flower pom poms!
Grant found this idea online to carve the "1" into the watermelon. :)
The birthday chair.
No one obeyed my "no gifts, please" request on the invitation. Ha.
She even got her first basket of organic veggies from the farm garden! That zucchini was about as big as she is! Thanks, Jenny!
We were so glad we were able to video chat with my parents so that they could watch her eat her cupcake!
She was careful with it - didn't just go nuts, but certainly enjoyed the experience, as evidenced by the sweet bouncing in her seat as the frosting hit her mouth.
A rare family pic!
Her push buggy was a hit! She smiled and had wonderful form with the steering wheel. Her hands never left 10 & 2! Hopefully a foreshadowing of fifteen years from now...
And there's a big happy smile in her new chair from Mimi and Grandaddy. She LOVES her chair, Mom and Dad! We took tons of pictures of her in it - you could tell she knew it was just for her!
Naomi, you have been a blessing to us from the moment we found out that God had begun your life. As He knit you together in my womb, only He knew what a wonderful, peaceful, and content baby you would be. Only He knew how much we would need your joy this year. And only He knows the incredible plans that He has in store for your life. We are honored to be your parents and our hearts overflow with gratefulness to have had this amazing year with you. We love you so much!

ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY NAOMI! What a sweet, precious girl you are (I can tell, even though I haven't actually met you!). Looks like it was a fantastic first birthday party! And I am in LOVE with those pom poms. Where did you get them? (Costco too?) I think we need those in our lives.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making it through year one with your first babe! You can do anything if you can survive that first year! XOXO
OK. First of all, the party decorations were BEAUTIFUL! Secondly, so were YOU in that family pic! So good to spend the weekend with you. Congrats for finishing your quiz:)
