Betsy Is One Year Old {With A Guest Author}...

Betsy turned one today, and I still can't believe that it has already been a year since our little monkey was born. What a blessing she has been and what a change she has made in our lives... all for the better, of course. Betsy is so much fun and so full of personality. A year ago today I was wondering what life would be like with her, and now I sit here and can't imagine life without her. Laura and I are thankful to have such an amazing little girl.

So I was able to sneak out of work for a little while to check in on the birthday bash that Laura had planned for Betsy, and what a joy it was. What fun it was to see Betsy playing and interacting with all her little friends, and I was so proud of Laura for all the planning and detail that she put into to making it the perfect first birthday party. She is such a great mom.

We had a blast today celebrating with Betsy, and below are some pictures that captured a few of today's many memorable moments.



I think she likes her new wagon...






She also liked all of her wonderful presents...spoiled baby!!




Apparently turning one means no more sitting in the chair.






Clapping was a major theme today...clap for cake...clap for singing...clap for big kids yelling "Betsy!!"


Yum!


Daddy visits the birthday party!


"It's my party..."


My crafty side made a quick appearance this week. It won't be back for awhile.
