Birthday Girl

Words cannot express the joy Anna Grace has been to our family. I celebrated her birthday with many mixed feelings. I'm so thankful for her life, her health, her smiles, her development, but a little sad how fast this year has gone by. I really want time to stand still, I want to redo this whole year again. I loved every, every minute of it.

But I can't and so we celebrate!! We had 2 parties for the princess. One on her actual birthday (Sept. 14) and another on Sat. so daddy could celebrate with us.



her first birthday cake...Sept 15, 2009
(one day old)


one year old


the kids were so happy and excited
how the kids have grown in a year!


Anna Grace digging in...I made a pound cake recipe, so it was hard for her
to actually grab the cake


Oma came to visit and celebrate. I am always amazed how
excited she is about her grandchildren. She has the same love for her first
grandchild as she does for Anna Grace (her 37th).


Her Saturday Birthday cake

her own smash cake, licking the icing just to make sure
