I'm 1!!!

   I can't believe that it finally happened.  My little baby turned one.  Where did it go? Time just seemed to fly by without even a chance of me saying, more like yelling, "SLOW DOWN!".  Her birthday was of course pink with a smidge of zebra.  I gotta do it folks. :-) We had family and a few close friends come to celebrate with us.  It was so nice of everyone to come.  She was definitely the princess of the day.  But what was funny was that she didn't even want her cake at first.  I had to dip her hands in and once she got a taste of her frosting, it was all over.  She wanted it and more.  But that also caused a veggie relapse for the past few months.  Can't say I blame her though :-)

Some morning cuddles before the day's festivities.

Christmas Eve.  Her eyes say it all.... "Presents...."

For Christmas this year, we went over to my parents' place in ole' Alabam'.  It is so different over there, but oh so nice.  My folks had a special Christmas vacation cooked up for us.  We were able to spend a week on the Florida coast.  Can I just say that it was AMAZING!!! We stayed in this beach house that was right on the water.  We didn't even need to open the doors or windows to hear the waves crashing. It was amazing.  The weather was splendid.  We went to a aviation museum not far away, ate some amazing food, and enjoyed the atmosphere.  Then it was back to Mimi and Poppa's for some fun times. Oh and Christmas ;-) We had an amazing time.
