Monday, February 18, Annabelle turned 1. We had a big party for her on Saturday. Many friends and family came to celebrate with us. We had a wonderful time watching her open her presents. She was so sweet, after she opened each gift, she walked around the living room showing everyone what she got. Grammy and Poppy gave her some clothes that will look so sweet on her this spring and summer, Nana and Papa gave her a Winnie the Pooh riding toy that lights up, GeeGee (Great Grandma) gave her a blow up swimming pool and Strawberry Shortcake swimming suit and Carol got Annabelle a sandbox wheelbarrow and toy lawn mower. Aunt Nicki and Uncle Kris got her some plates and silver ware that we will use everyday! Aunt Shannon and her family got Annabelle and hippo that goes on the bath tub faucet. The Gordon's couldn't make the party but they gave her a Marie doll from Aristocats along with a summer outfit with Marie on it. Aaron and I got a blue hippo bubble maker and some beautiful amethyst ear rings. Unfortunately, she won't let me change her ear rings yet. After yummy strawberry cake and home made ice cream (thank you Shannon), we watched a slide show of Annabelle's first year. Click on Annabelle's slide show if you'd like to watch it too.
All in all, Annabelle had a great first birthday. Thanks to all who helped celebrate this wonderful achievement.
When everyone told me that the first year would go by so fast, I believed them. But I didn't truly understand until her first year had come and gone. It seems like she was only a baby for a few days. I've looked over all the pictures that we have of Annabelle and nearly come to tears remembering her. I will always remember her on that first day that I met my sweet baby Annabelle.

I can't believe she's one either! Time goes by SO fast. We're sorry we couldn't be there for Annabelle's party. But we've watched the slideshow, and it was awesome! Nice work : )
