It is hard to believe that my baby girl is already one year old. I can not even begin to express in words the joy and delight she has brought to our family this past year. Jade Lydia, we love you SO much! Jade was not feeling the best today...but even in light of a little sickness, she had a great b-day! The most joyful I saw her all day (in light of the illness) was visiting with a puppy at a local shelter. Jade LOVES dogs. I mean LOVES dogs! All of her favorite animals are dogs, her favorite books are about dogs, you say 'ruff-ruff' or 'doggy' and she squeils in delight. Thinking through what we could do today that would bring her the most joy was being with a dog. After a Krispy Kreme trip (her first donought...suggestion from her big brother...not to mention his favorite special treat) we stopped at a local dog shelter and played with a puppy in a room. Jade was elated!
Here are a few pictures from the day...not the best (again she was not feeling too well, hence not a lot of emotion):
Opening her gift after breakfast:
Her first doughnut
Testing the cupcake out...
I am done (after destroying the whole thing, and leaving half of it in my hair)
Carson enjoyed every moment of today....pancake breakfast, a new toy to play with (yes, he played with it more than Jade), Krispy Creme, finding a puppy that he wanted to bring home, pizza dinner (Jade's all time favorite) and cupcakes!!
