She's 1!!!

With another Halloween comes a birthday for Miss Natalie! We've had our little cutie for 1 year now and we couldn't be more in love. Here are some highlights of her day:

We opened presents after lunch because we knew we'd be busy that night. She had fun opening up a few toys and was very anxious to get playing with them.

What a face!! Take a bite, you know you want to!

We had the missionaries over for dinner to help celebrate. Cyrena sat right next to them and yes she told them her life story. :) We made homemade pizza (a favorite). You can see she enjoyed it!

I made this cake for everyone to eat, then made Natalie her own personal cake to destroy for tradition's sake.

Her personal pumpkin cake, face by daddy.
BEFORE


AFTER
Not much actually made it into her mouth. She spit a lot of it out.



Birthday princess! She loves to wear necklaces.

She was so happy with her mess, especially since we were all laughing pretty hard!

We love this little girl and can't get enough of her. She brings so much sunshine and fun into our lives! And It doesn't hurt that she's so squishy.

Hahaha, just as you had described the destroyed cake. I like the pumpkin, again with the creativity. I'm glad your parents were there to enjoy the fun and eventful weekend with you.
