Quite a year.

Well, my little girl turns 1 today. It's been a hell of a ride - but I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

I got her this hat off esty - and this is seriously the face she gave every time I put it on. She is totally saying - "Mom. Take. It. Off."

Hmm.... cake.
Is delicious! Yum!

Here Mom! Have some! Yum!


This was all yesterday at the big birthday party. She had SO much fun - we had a face painter here, and Cam was a puppy. I got my face painted to show him how much fun it was, and that also got the ball rolling with the older kids who were 'too cool'. But the 'big' kids (between 6 - 14) were SO much fun with Cam and Maggie. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Maggie got some really great presents, Aaron and I had the most wonderful time sharing with our great friends... pretty much the best party we've ever thrown. For the best baby girl in the universe!(Well. In my opinion. There are a few people out there that my have differing opinions!)
Today the house is quiet. I'm working from home, the kids are at school, my MIL is gone, and Aaron is at work. My MIL was here since Weds, and that was actually awesome. She was great, the kids loved her, and somehow, Aaron and her managed to not push each other's buttons the whole time she was here. It was great.

What a beautiful birthday girl! The dress and hat are adorable and I'm so glad the party was a hit. Happy Birthday, Maggie!

Happy Birthday to Nora as well. I have a dead baby and a live baby who share a birthday, which is not at all like twins (two years apart). But it does make the birthday more.. what's the word? Loaded? Or just very different in a way I never could have expected? At any rate, I hope you have time to both fully celebrate Maggie's most awesome first year, and also to remember and grieve Nora.
