Yes, we have a one year old. Isn't she beautiful? I can't possibly describe the joy I feel when I look back on this last year. I couldn't possibly ask for anything more.
The day she was born was perfect, it was exactly as I imagined. We had waited so long for our little one and we knew she was coming November 23, the day before Thanksgiving. Our family and closest friends were there to celebrate. At 2:18 p.m. she came into the world...
What a perfect day. We had visitors, we stayed up late drinking coffee with friends....I didn't sleep that night, I just remember staying up and saying "Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you" over and over to the One that gave her to us, the greatest gift given by the greatest giver of all good things. And so began our lives as parents.
I love each new season. Every month that went by was full of wonder, full of excitement, full of JOY. I loved all 12 months watching this little one grow.
I can't imagine how much more I'll fall in love with her in the next year, how much more she will change and start becoming more of who He made her to be. What an incredible honor.
Her birthday was great! We just had a small little party with family and a few friends. I have to say, I didn't do a great job taking lots of pics. When we started singing Happy Birthday, Anniston got the BIGGEST smile on her face. It was amazing. I'm so sad I didn't capture the moment. Only in my memories...here's some shots from the night.
So what is my one year old like? She is full of JOY, happy and smiling most all the time. She loves people and hasn't ever met a stranger. She makes people feel super loved. She is adventurous. She is funny. She loves music and loves to dance. She loves books. She loves food (like her momma). She is just the perfect addition to our family. We love you Anniston Joy!!! Here's to your first year and many more to come!
