Birthday Festivities

We had a WONDERFUL day yesterday celebrating Callie Joy's birthday. It must have been a good day, because she didn't wake up to eat until 6:30 this morning, and went back down and is STILL sleeping at 8:15am!

Our families came over last night for a sandwich dinner, cupcakes and presents. Callie was a little overwhelmed at first having most of her favorite people all together (we missed you Auntie Laura!), but she quickly warmed up and had fun seeing everyone.

She (maybe) enjoyed her cupcake (made by MorMor)...it was hard to tell. She seemed rather passe about the whole thing, but did end up eating a few little bites on her own. The rest of us devoured them, though! Yum!

What she L-O-V-E-D were the presents! She got quite a nice haul and immediately started playing with everything. Chris and I got her a push toy for our house, and Grandma and Grandpa got her a push toy for their house. She tried both of them out, and boy was she cruising!

And after walking with the push toys, she seemed a little more willing to try it on her own.

Here are a couple of pictures from the night, and then the link to all of the pictures on our Shutterfly site.

At 7:55pm...the exact time she was born a year ago.


The rest of the pictures can be found at Shutterfly. For some reason when I loaded the pictures this morning they were put in to 2 different albums, so here are the links for both:

Thanks to everyone for the thoughts, prayers, and birthday greetings! Now, as you can see from the updated blog header, we're ready for life with a 1-year-old!
