Birthday week! Lots of photos again!

How can it be? We already have ourselves a one year old?! I feel like we just left the hospital!

We decided that it was only fitting to celebrate our girl's birthday all week long. So on her actual birthday (May 6), she woke up to balloons all over her room. Her reaction was much more exciting when I envisioned it in my head than it actually was in reality. But, she warmed up to them after a while. She takes after her momma in the mornings :)

Then, we headed to Krispy Kreme for her very first donut before church.

Watching how the donuts are made.

After church, we came home to celebrate! I attempted to make this birthday cake for her, but she wasn't a huge fan.

She mostly shared with Daddy...

She loved all of her special gifts! We had to immediately try out the new pool and swing!

The following weekend, we had a large party at the house with family and friends. I had been planning this shindig for months! Pinterest has created a monster! It was so fun to put together a day that we could celebrate all of the joy that Leighton has brought to our lives alongside our closest family and friends.

She wasn't walking quite yet, but Grancy helped her try!

She was loaded with gifts! Thanks guys!

She liked this cake MUCH better!

Opening her presents! She loves books.

 Her friends helped too :)

To our sweet-spirited, sassy, smiley, strong-willed baby girl...you fill our hearts. I am blessed to be your momma. Your tiny voice that wakes us up in the morning and your heavy eyes as we pray together at night are the best gifts we could ever imagine. We love you so much.

The next stop for the three of us....

Stay tuned!
