Happy Birthday Elizabeth Grace!
Elizabeth turned one on Saturday, March 15th, and her big birthday party celebration came on the same day. She was so excited to have the spotlight on her. I could tell she was just thrilled to have everyone ooooing and ahhhing over her. She is such a bright light in our lives, and we just feel so very blessed to have her precious little soul in our family.
Elizabeth had a bird-themed birthday party, thanks to Emily who suggested a bird party when we first started talking about what to do for Elizabeth's big first birthday.
I was super excited to celebrate my dear Elizabeth's first year!
Many dear family and friends came to help celebrate. Sue and Larry came in from Michigan, and all of Elizabeth's Colorado grandparents and great grandparents were there as well.

| Addison was so excited to see the cake smash. In preparation for Elizabeth's party, I had shown the big girls pictures from their first birthday party, and the pictures of their cakes were definitely their favorites. Addie was talking about Elizabeth getting her own little cake to smash and eat for a few weeks before the party, and when the moment came, she was full of giggles. |

| Elizabeth had quite the audience, and she loved it! |
