Annabelle's 1st Birthday Extravaganza!


Annabelle. What doll. What a blessing. I am so very thankful that God has trusted Cameron and I to raise this wonderful little girl. Two years ago, I was in a bad place because I longed for a baby. One year ago I was finally blessed with the most wonderful baby girl. She is so much more than I could have ever dreamed. My heart is so full of love and adoration for Annabelle. She is a true blessing.                                      

Annabelle has such a sense of humor! This baby loves to laugh! She has changed so much in the past year. It is hard to believe that she has gotten so big. My little 5 pound, 18.5 inch baby girl........who now weighs 19.2 pounds and is 29.25 inches. I cannot imagine a world without Annabelle. My heart is overflowing! She is learning so much each day. She can now find certain toys and, of course, she know how to spot her daddy. Every time we see a picture she must stop and look at Dada. Enough with memory lane! Lets get to the party! Get ready for the picture extravaganza!
 
What a day week! I started out with such a good plan in October and then I lost a week somewhere in January. I thought I had two weeks before the party, but come to find out I only had one. So off to the races I go getting invitations out, decorating and getting last mintues items. Good thing I started planning and shopping early! I love, love, love this little girl! She is the best thing in my life! Enjoy the picture show!
 
 
Annabelle did not want to wake up from her nap!

 
Wasn't sure I was going to be able to accomplish the owls, but they turned out really well!
 
 
 

 
 Good thing Heather took pictures of the cupcakes! Over 300 pictures and Kasi and I missed them........
 
 Birthday Girl!

So many great friends and family attending the party! So thankful for each and everyone of you!

Great pics of Papa Larry and Annabelle!
 
Gift time! I think she is excited.
 

 
This face is priceless! She is staring down that star candle!!!!

  Annabelle was cheering for everyone. I thought for a moment when we were singing that she might cry, but she waited until we were done and the clapped for everyone. LOL! Such a sweet girl!
 
 Annabelle did not care much for smashing her cake. I did most of the smashing for her........
 
 
 
This the the best baby girl ever!!!!!! I sure do love Annabelle. I would like to thank everyone who came to Annabelle's party and celebrated with us. She is such a special little girl and I am so thankful for her health and happiness. We made it through the first year! With flying colors if I do say so myself! She is happy, healthy and loved beyond measure. I pray that she will always know how much she is loved by me, her daddy and God. God has been so good to us! I know He can see how much love is in our hearts and how thankful we truly are to be Annabelle's parents.
