 Our sweet girl had a great birthday.  I know that I say it all the time, but how did she get this old? I am pretty sure she was born last week...crazy.  I will admit that when we sang happy birthday to her I cried.  There is just something about your baby turning one that is so emotional, rewarding and heart breaking at the same time.  You give your all to your children everyday at the same time praying you are guiding them and teaching them those things you know you should, and when they reach a milestone, like a birthday, there is reflection and a desire to do better each day.
 She loved the cake, the lit candle and especially eating the fondant dots on the top



The presents were just as much fun. A stuffed puppy from Madison, books from Emma                                                
                                                                                                    and "GIRL" cars from C.J.
She loved the wrapping paper and had lots of extra help from excited siblings.   She is sweet and amazing, and we love her so much!

At one Allie..
-can say several words  mama, dada, oh oh, and hi are her favorites
-will eat anything and everything (this is a total change from her sibs)
-loves our dog Jake as long as he doesn't sneeze when she is around, it is the only thing
  that freaks her out.
-finally has teeth! 2 on the bottom
-sleeps at least 12 hours a night
-stops traffic with her smile and wave
-is too cute and soooo loved
Thanks for the past year little girl, I am looking forward to all the small moments the future holds for you, I am so blessed to be your mama.
