Happy 1st Birthday, Audrey Elise!

It is late, I know, but on Cinco de Mayo we celebrated Audrey's first birthday! First, let me say how fast the first year went! Audrey has brought so much joy and laughter into our lives! She is so sweet and loves playing and laughing. She is so good at her "fake" laugh and loves playing "where's Audrey" and (I love it!) especially loves cuddling. She is so beautiful and has a sweet spirit about her. I thank the Lord every day for this sweet blessing!

Ok, back to the birthday party, we had Grandma and Grandpa Hanchett, Nana and Papa Van Vleet, Aunt Jilly, Great Grandma n Grandpa Hanchett, our wonderful neighbors-the Flegers, Doug n Brenda, Jess n Brian, Jim n Sara, the Greens and a few others. It was quite the "small" party!


Lyle and I made the cake, and Krista and I made the alphabet cupcakes.





Audrey got quite the haul for a little one year old! Tricycle, peek-a-boo blocks, popper walker, clothes, a singing cooking pot, books, and her first baby dolls.
Once we blew out the candle, she did pretty good at diving in considering she was sick and couldn't keep any food down...poor thing!
She was such a good sport and of course loved all the attention!
We love you, Audrey Elise!
