We have a big One Year Old!!!

So we had our first First Birthday event. There weren't bouncy houses or pony rides... but there were a lot of loved ones, a lot of cake and a lot of chaos! It was a wonderful day! I spent most of the day in shock... how can McKinley possibly be a year old already? I mean, wasn't it just a few weeks ago that she surprised us all with her grand entrance into this world? As all of you mommies and daddies already know... they just grow so fast and change so much, all right before your very eyes!
So the party was a big hit with all who attended... just family this year. McKinley was kinda into opening her presents... her older cousins were more excited about it than she was. I'm sure in a year or two she'll get the hang of it though.
The cake was a huge hit as you can see. : ) She at a bunch with her hands too, and several people spoon fed her some homemade ice cream. She enjoyed it all, but never cracked a smile. She looked quite confused about why the paparazzi had shown up at her dinner table. Ha!
And here is our family on the big day. What a change from just a year ago!

Happy Birthday sweet girl... can't wait for many, many, many more!
