my baby is ONE!!!

I can't believe it. Is my baby really a YEAR OLD?! gosh such a crazy thought! Well, since Tanner and Gracie have the same birthday I thought it would be fun to have a little birthday bash. so we invited all our friends and family and had a party!!

I thought it would be fun to make a little invitation so i made this and sent it to everyone :)

Their birthday bash consisted of balloons, yummy food, a cake for tanner that I attempted at making, a cake for gracie to stuff her face with, lots of good company, pool, pingpong, opening presents, and more!!

Gracie wasn't sure about her cake at first. she just stared at it. wouldn't touch it, just stared. it was so funny! Then grandpa put some in her mouth and smeared it all over her face...then she dug in.

we had a blast! Gracie got a 4wheeler, some bath toys, some cute outfits from aunt aub and grandma stace, and toys!
