Happy Birthday Princess!

Well, a year ago right now we were some where between Spearfish, SD and Houston, TX. It was so much fun waking up this morning and remembering "a year ago we became parents, and a year ago our daughter was born." So funny to realize that a year ago yesterday we were at the point of giving up on ever having children at all, then overnight we had a daughter! What a wonderful year it has been! As you can see in this picture she has her birthday hat (I thought she should have a tiara!) and her "princess" sash!
We have yard signs for the special occasion!
On her first birthday she discovered our DVD rack! She was escaping as I took the picture!
Here she is "opening" her CD player. We already burned one out from all the times that we play music for the kids (although it was only $19.97 at Wal.Mart!) We decided that our "big" gift for both the kids' first birthdays will be these little bit nicer CD players that mount on the wall. That way they each will have one in their own rooms and they each can have different music. (Ada will have the softer music because she is already starting to dance alot!! Shes got the moves! I am sure there will be more pictures after this weekend and the big birthday party...there is still time to RSVP...grab a plane and come to Spearfish!
