Delicious!


Here are some more pictures of the birthday party. Aubrie had already tasted cake before so she knew she was in for a treat when the cake came at her. She didn't blow out the candles...I don't actually know if she knew that she could or not but regardless her Big Sister Abbie jumped right in and took care of the giant flameing #1 candle. Aubrie did enjoy all the claps and cheers. She loves to clap for herself or for anyone else for that matter. When we blew out the candles she was a happy girl and and was ready for her cake. She was actually very polite considering she had free reign on the cake and was content to take it in small bites. We then turned to the other birthday of the day which belonged to Daddy, aka: Phillip. He had a delicious peanut butter & chocolate pie for his birthday. For their collective day, I created a timeline for them in pictures. I had pictures from every month of Aubrie's first year (it's going in the scrapbook...) and I did one of Phillip from baby to Daddy. It was so much fun putting those together. It was neat to look back on Aubrie's first year and she her change from newborn to baby. There is such a difference to me...when they are born they are so tiny and such little infants...I never think of them as "baby" until they are bigger. Now she's officially one and is so much fun. We got her a neat walking toy for her birthday and she is using it to "walk" across the room...usually chasing after Abbie or the "dat" (penny the cat). She has had such a wonderful first year. We look forward to all the fun things she'll do in the next 12 months. Thanks to all of you who have prayed for her and for us as we adjusted to life with two kids. She has been such a wonderful blessing...our sweet Baby Brie...
