Happy Birthday Ayla!

It is hard to believe that our baby girl is one already! It seems like she was just born yesterday. I'm not sure where the time goes, so I'm trying to cherish every moment with both children. We celebrated Ayla's birthday with our family and close friends, the Whitman's.

Rylan helped make Ayla a giant funfetti cupcake. What a sweet big brother!


Our pretty birthday girl.


Ayla was happy to celebrate with her best friend, and cousin, Kiyana.


As always, Rylan and Papa had a ball together.


We love our little family!


Ayla wasn't sure what to think of her giant cupcake at first.


But, it didn't take her long to dive right in again and again!


She ate the top of the cupcake first. Yummy frosting!


She didn't quite know what to do with all the presents so Mommy and Rylan had to help her open most of them.


She immediately wanted to play with her new shopping cart from Grandma.


And, she's spent a lot of time riding her new horse from Mimi and Papa.

Ayla, we are so blessed to have you in our lives! We love your sweet spirit and your beautiful smile! You light up our world! This past year with you in our lives has been so amazing. We will forever cherish your snuggles, kisses, and giggles. We look forward to many more special times with you. Love you more than words!
