Baby Girls turns 1!

Brooklyn's Birthday was celebrated in chunks since Craig had a long KMK weekend.  A group comes in to the school 2 weekends during February to help the students study for the first part of board exams that they take in March.  The 2nd weekend of course had to be over Brooklyn's birthday.  Craig felt so bad that he wouldn't be there to celebrate with us, but he definitely needed to take advantage of this study time, especially after we paid almost $600 for it.  So, since he had KMK all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and we weren't sure if he would get home before Brooklyn went to bed, we decided to have her open her presents on Thursday.  She got a new car seat from Nana and Pops.  She got a super cute outfit, a fun laptop, and a Book of Mormon ABC book from G&G Williams. Craig and I got her a dress and puzzle from the second hand store and a soccer ball and football (she loves playing with any balls she can).

On Saturday the 22nd we had the playgroup over to the house for a little party.  It wasn't anything exciting, the kids just played and we ate some cupcakes.  We went out to the backyard to try to contain the messiness of the cupcakes.  Brooklyn was a little confused at first when I gave her the cupcake, she wasn't really sure what to do with it.  She only took a few bites of the cupcake but she did like to play with the frosting. I thought she was going to get a lot messier then she was.  I thought I would for sure be cleaning frosting out of her hair, but it was really just on her hands and around her mouth.  We had a lot of fun and it was nice to pass the time while our husbands were at school.  Brooklyn loved having her friends over.  Craig got home a little earlier then expected which was nice and Brooklyn showed him her steps.  I think all-in-all it was a great day and I can't believe that our sweet little girl has been part of our family for a year now.  It has been a year full of happiness and joy and a few rough days and nights and I wouldn't change a minute of it.  Our little princess is the JOY and LIGHT of our lives and we love her to pieces.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!
