Raelyn Turns One

Yesterday was a big day in our home! It’s hard to believe that Raelyn is ONE. Wow, what a special year it has been!

We started the day with a birthday breakfast (French toast and scrambled eggs) and a duet of the “Happy Birthday” song by mommy and daddy. ;)

Her birthday cakes were dropped off later in the morning by Miss Julie, who recently started a cake business in her spare time.

The first guests to arrive were Uncle Jason, Aunt Jenny, and Avery so we had a moment to snap a picture of Avery’s gift to Raelyn. I think Raelyn likes it! ;)

Raelyn was well dressed in her birthday outfit made by Auntie Peeper (aka: sewing goddess).

Guests trickled in, snacks were eaten, chatter commenced, and kids played. All of that before we opened presents!  Raelyn had a ball with everyone here to celebrate her birthday. She especially loved looking at all the cards.

I think Raelyn was impressed that the whole crowd was singing to her!

She didn’t need much prompting to “dig in”.  We were all impressed by her tidy way of digging in. :)

Raelyn told us that she had a great day and is very thankful to all of her guests who helped her celebrate!
