Aly Claire's First Birthday Party

Aly will turn one on December 20th, (if you ask her, she says she is two), but we celebrated a little early with a family party on Sunday. Aly loved opening presents and eating cake in her own little dainty way. We had so much fun watching her reactions to a very confusing, yet exciting experience.

Aly had her own special "smash cake" to eat on her own.



Aly loved having her best friend and her favorite cousin at her house at the same time!


She started out in her fancy pink and brown dress for presents and then had a wardrobe change for cake. Aunt Kristi made her a special birthday outfit. So cute!!































What a fun way to celebrate the most wonderful year of our lives! Happy birthday, Angel!

ALY WALKS!!!!

Aly took her first steps yesterday morning (exactly 2 weeks before her first birthday) and has taken several more since then! Her record stands at five steps in a row so far. I fear my life is about to drastically change, but I'm so excited about it! I can't wait for dance class!

Now she's just showing off!
