happy birthday karoline!

Well our little cupcake turned 1 on Saturday! It is hard to believe. This has been the most amazing year. I never knew a child could bring this much joy to your life. Karoline, you are such a blessing and we look forward to many fun filled years ahead!!! Happy Birthday! We love you!

Here are a few pics from her party! It turned out great. We had a few friends over. Tony had the tv set up outside to watch the Razorback game on pay-per view.
The weather was nice so we spent a lot of time outside.
We grilled out and filled ourselves on sweets and snacks. Yummy!
Karoline was completely spoiled. She got so many wonderful toys and clothes.
Thank you to everyone that helped make this day so much fun!!!!!
My pictures don't do the party justice. I'm hoping to get some others from friends and post them later. For some reason I didn't get any good pics. Here are the few that I have.

Karolines birthday party invitation(minus the address)

The playhouse that we(along with both sets of grandparents and some aunts and uncles)
got her. Tony and David Donnell put together. Thanks David! The swing set in the background that Nitzia gave us. It was a hit at the party!

The birthday banner that I made Karoline.

The cupcake CAKE!

All the goodies!



loving the pretzel sticks!

Karoline opening her gifts

we had lots of good gift helpers

cake time!

she only wanted the big sprinkles!

Well this is about as much as she dug into it. She didn't want to get messy. I really thought she would have wanted to get all in the cake but apparently not. I think the icing wasn't her favorite. She loved the cake when I baked it and was crying for more. She is probably going to be like her dad and like cake with no icing.
