Happy First Birthday!

Happy Birthday Gorgeous Girl! What a fun day we had with you, celebrating this amazing and fun first year we've had together. Since it was Sunday, we started out the day by going to church. Of course, Mama had to dress you in your Pretty Princess dress since it was your special day. You looked SO cute in your tulle dress and got more compliments than I can count!

look at those chunkers! aside from your gorgeous blues and sweet brown curls, these are my favorite parts of you! :)
Later that afternoon, we decided to walk over to Lake Harriet to see the ducks and have some dinner outdoors. It was a beautiful day, warm and sunny, with the colors of fall just starting to appear on the trees. Your brothers rollerbladed and scootered alongside the stroller, and we enjoyed some peaceful moments together as a family.




Back at home, it was getting late and bedtime was fast approaching. We topped off the day with a pile of presents and cake!



In preparation for your birthday party next weekend, I decided to do a practice run of the smash cake. With homemade buttercream icing and three layers, it was decadent and delicious. You thought it was so fun when we sang Happy Birthday to you and showed you your cake. You couldn't wait to give it a try (neither could your brothers!)

I think you liked it! Here's to many many more Happy Birthdays, sweet baby girl! We love you more than you can imagine.
