Party Day!

Today was Rachel's birthday party! It's so hard to believe her 1st birthday party has come and gone!

It was a great party! Most of the invited family in the area came and helped celebrate the special occassion. We served dinner, followed by the opening of the presents, and ending the celebration with cake and ice cream!

Rachel was blessed abundantly by the generousity of our families. She got some absolutely adorable outfits...she'll be stylin this winter...assuming it ever cools off! From her Gramma and Papa (my parents), she got a traveling Tinkerbell suitcase (for staying the night at Gramma and Papa's...when ya want the girls?!?!? ::hint, hint::), with a little baby doll, and a duckie book. However, the most anticipated gift from Gramma and Papa was the hand quilted quilt! It's absolutely beautiful. For each of the granddaughters (no grandsons...just 4 granddaughters!), my mom has handquilted them a quilt for their first birthdays. Hannah still sleeps with her blankie everynight! The quilts are a treasured, a well used, and loved keepsake!


Rachel also got some new books and some new toys that she, and Hannah, both will enjoy!!! It was a great day and the little girly was exhausted by the time the celebration was over!
