And she is....

1!

Today is Delaine Jo's first birthday! This year has just flown by. We all love this little girl oh so much. At exactly 3:00 pm she will not longer be my little baby :( But my big one year old. This past year has been wonderful and we are excited to see what next year will bring for this sweet little girl. (Hopefully more hair...)

She was not a big fan of taking pictures this morning. She was much more interested in the balloons right behind me.

This morning we celebrated Laine's birthday before church and Jer's work. If was fun. We had a pajama party :) It included a picnic breakfast in the living room, jammies, balloons, french toast and bacon. And of course birthday cake. Who doesn't need cake before noon?

Jer and I are celebrating the fact that we made it through one year as parents of 2 kids.

Laine wasn't to sure about the candle.

Good thing she has a big brother to show her the ropes.

She knew exactly what to do with the cake though.

She had some in each hand and was shoving it in there.

After cake we all got cleaned up and ready for Church. But right before we left for church SHe opened presents. Bode has been so patient. He has been wanting to rip through all those presents for days. I told him before Laine could open presents he had to get Sunday clothes on. I have never seen him get ready so fast.

Laine figured the best way to open presents is with her teeth.

Yay for the Disney Princesses. We definitely had to get Sleeping Beauty before it went back in the vault.

She was genuinely excited to open these presents. She got so excited when she got to the goody inside.

I absolutely love this pink bear. The other day the kids and I were driving down the road. I was talking to Bode about Laine's birthday. He and I were going later that day to pick out a present for her from him. I asked him what he wanted to get her for her birthday. He though for a little bit and replied "a big giraffe or a pink teddy bear". He was so excited to find the pink teddy bear at the store. She looks very happy to get it don't you think?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE BUG!
