Happy Birthday Callie!
I cannot believe that it was a year ago that we were in the hospital with Callie Grace. This year has been absolutely wonderful and I could not have imagined anything better. Callie has blessed our lives in more ways than I can count. I am so grateful that God gave us such an amazing little girl.
We had lunch at the Yacht Club with Mama D and PawPaw. They were so happy that Callie came for her birthday, and they gave her a hat to celebrate. She wore it the entire time we were there.
Then we had both of the families over for dinner. Bryan grilled out and we had a great big family dinner. It was so nice that Callie ate everything that we were having and I didn't have to fix her any other food. After dinner, Callie opened presents - so many presents!
Gigi and Big Daddy gave us a special memory book with pictures from her first year.
Mama D and PawPaw got her a table and two chairs for her bedroom. She loves to sit at the table and read books and play. She will be doing school work before I know it!
Callie had so much fun opening all of her other gifts from everyone in the family. Thank you to everyone who gave her such wonderful gifts!
After opening presents, it was time for cake!
At first, she did not love the feeling of cake on her hands...
but once she got a taste of the chocolate, there was no stopping!
This one is my favorite...
Even with all of that sugar, she slept great. It was a fun birthday night! On Saturday, we had a pool party with all of her (our) friends. It was a gorgeous day and Callie had so much fun in the pool. I think she was in the pool for almost 2 hours and she did not want to get out when it was time to go!
Thank you to everyone who made Callie's first birthday so great! And thank you for all of the amazing presents. I had to rearrange her closet to make room for all of the new things! (How many shoes does she have by the way?! A girl after my own heart.)
Happy Birthday Callie!
