This past Saturday we celebrated Alaina's first birthday. I can't believe that she is a year old. I heard someone say once that the days are long but the years go by fast and I believe that is true. My sister Ashley and I went early to decorate. We decided on a Dora theme because she loves watching her on TV.

When everyone got there, we snacked on chips and dip. Alaina really loved that part!
Eating with Poppa
She also enjoyed playing with her cousin Wyatt, who is just three days older than her.
Then it was time to open gifts!!

Sharing with MomaSo tired!Playing with Aunt AshleyPlaying with DaddyWe had so much fun at Alaina's party and it completely wore her out! After her bath and milk in a sippy cup (no more formula in a bottle!), she was out by 9:15p.m. and I had to wake the sleepy head up the next morning at 9 so we could get ready and go to Sunday School!
