Aubrey is ONE!!!

Happy Birthday to Aubrey Susan!

April 12

We had a great time celebrating Aubrey's first birthday with family. I can't believe she's already ONE!!! It seems like yesterday I was sitting on the couch next to my mom as she recorded every contraction while I told her I wasn't in labor and that I just wanted to go to lunch.

The little party was fun. The best part was the ball pit my mom made. It kept the girls contained and entertained at the same time...winner! After burgers and the works we opened a few GREAT gifts (including a ride on ladybug, a giant school bus, a very loved carton of eggs, sing a long songs and cute new shoes) and then headed over to the cupcake table. Katin waited very patiently for this part. She was so excited to sing to her sister and eat a cupcake :) Thanks Aunt Donna and Uncle Steve for hosting such a fun little one year old party! LOVE YOU!
