Abigail Dana's First Birthday

It is hard to believe Little Miss Abby is already one. She had a very relaxed and simple but great birthday. Cookies and milk for breakfast and presents and cake when daddy got home. So much has happened and changed since Abigail joined our family and she has just gone along with everything remaining the easiest and happiest baby. She is so easy going and it doesn't take much to keep her happy. (Just keep her rested and fed.) She has gained so much personality and knows how to stick up for herself. If you think taking candy, toys or a binkie from a baby is easy, try taking something from her. She will lunge at you with both hands and grab it right back. She is hilarious and has mastered the fake cry as well as every look in the book and knows how to make us all laugh. We love our Abby-gail as Tanner calls her. She loves her siblings and has so much fun crawling after them all day long. Her and Tanner love playing silly little games together and are good at making each other laugh. HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY SWEET ABIGAIL!! We love you so very much.

(Picture overload)





















 I love how big her eyes got with her first real taste of frosting.






My personal favorite picture from her cake eating. Makes me laugh every time.

Matt's Big 3-0!!

Thirty days of thirty has come to an end. Daddy left for work Monday morning and the kids and I got busy blowing up balloons and writing our favorite adjectives that describe daddy to tape on the back window. We also filled water balloons and the kids ambushed daddy as he got home. Our plan was to make him feel like a kid on his big birthday. The kids also helped me wrap his presents with some of their pictures they have colored since we moved here. It was a great day celebrating our favorite person!!
