Happy, Happy Birthday Lainy Dear

Here are Lainy's birthday pictures. I hope she had a fun day because we sure had fun spoiling her for her birthday!

My attempt at a birthday cake. Brad is afraid Alaina is going to get diabetes because she LOVES anything with sugar in it, so I tried to make her cake healthy-ish. (By healthy I mean sugarless whipped cream and fruit for toppings, ha ha). Here's a funny story: Brad was the one who wrote "Happy Birthday" on the cake. The first time around he wrote "Happy Birthay" with no "d". I thought it was funny - how many times has he spelled "birthday"?! I guess his mind was occupied with anatomy terms or something.

Alaina enjoying her cake. We stripped her down to her diaper, set her on a tarp, and let her go at it! She was very clean and proper until the very end when she smashed the whole thing into her mouth. She loved it!

Thrilled with her new toy from Grandma and Grandpa Smith

She looks excited about this gift doesn't she? I think she looks way too big.

Thanks to all our family and friends who celebrated with us! We love you all!

Wow - Happy B-day Lainy!! What a cute cake. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. It will be really strange when we are doing Micah's B-Day post in a year!

Sounds like Lainy had a fun birthday party. I've probably said this before, but it's hard to believe she's already a year old!
