Baby Girl’s Birthday Bash!

A few weeks back we celebrated Maddox’s first birthday! I get teary eyed almost everyday and stand amazed at God’s creation of her little life. She has brought an indescribable blessing and abundant joy into our family. I never knew having children would teach me so much about love.

I had a blast planning her party!!DSCN3584

Yes, that is an old fence in my house, and you don’t have to tell me I am crazy. My husband took care of that already.

We had a house full of our sweet family and friends. Thanks everyone for cramming in to celebrate! It was such a special day.

She dug right into her presents, and her cake! And, being the generous girl that she is, she really wanted to feed her cake to everyone. Fortunately, her papadaddy was the only sucker taker!

Happy Birthday to our sweet baby girl. You are so full of life, energy, and joy. You are a very passionate and determined little girl that lights up any room! I cannot wait to see what the years will bring and the plans the Lord has for your life. We are blessed to be your parents and pray that you will use all of that passion within your heart for God’s kingdom and His glory. Praise be to Him for giving you life and breath.

I have to say, having the first year under our belt really feels good. I don’t think I did it gracefully enough, but we made it! I am love, love, loving the toddler phase.  I cannot wait for our trips to the zoo and the waterpark, and all of the learning that is right around the corner.
