Happy Birthday Maria!

Well, this post is just for my sweet niece who just turned four years old! We had such a great time at her garden party today. We celebrated her birthday eating breakfast, painting, planting flowers, opening presents, and eating cake. :)

After cleaning up the party area we had fun exploring. The boys especially had a wonderful time getting wet and dirty at the pond where we saw fish, tad poles, and frogs! What a great day!

Here are a few pictures from Maria's special "derpday." Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Happy Birthday!

Wow, I can hardly believe this little sweetie is one year old. I had the honor of being present with her mommy and daddy during labor and delivery. One of these days I'll have to share some of her first photographs!

These are from her birthday party. Daddy returned from Iraq just in time to celebrate with his wife and special girl. PTL

She really got "into" her cupcake! So cute!
