March 18, 2009 was a terrific day! My baby turned 1. I cannot believe how the time has flown by! It just seems like yesterday that Alex was driving me to the hospital getting ready to start the biggest adventure of our lives! What a blessing our little Klara is! We started out her birthday by giving her the presents we bought for her. We bought her a push and ride toy and a ball with kittens (only because she would not leave the ball box at Toys R Us without one!). She played with those toys all morning long as Alex and I prepared the decorations and cupcakes for her party. Then at 5:30 her guests began arriving! She was a great little hostess and met them at the door! We had quite a crowd! Klara's guests included Mimi, Papaw, Uncle Wade and Ashley, Jennifer and Chad, Hollie/Casey/Sadie Gallaher, Jenn and Grace Custer, Ashley/Cole/Jeremiah Strong, and Janet and Gene. The babies all enjoyed playing on the floor while the adults ate and chatted. Finally the big moment came! We sang happy birthday to Klara and gave her the cupcake of her dreams! She loved it! She put the entire cupcake up to her face and ate every bit of it! My baby is a good eater. She then opened all her wonderful presents! Her friends are all very thoughtful! We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives! After everyone left, Klara played in the bathtub with some of her new toys. I could tell she was exhausted so we cut bathtime a little short, put on pjs, and went to bed. She fell fast asleep. What a big day for the little birthday girl! Thank you Jesus for such a blessed year! May we have soooooo many more to come!
I love my new toy!
