Happy 1st Birthday Cha Cha!

1 Year already?! This sweet angel came to us a year ago and she has been the best blessing! This girl is so sweet, funny and just plain loveable! She has a terrific smile and the best laugh ever! I can't believe she can walk (has been able to for a while now) and is just another person! No more baby!! It makes me so sad how fast they grow the first year. We celebrated with a birthday party at our house. It was fun to have almost everyone here (we missed you Chris, Reilly, Reagan, and Paul). It is so fun celebrating life!

Of course her cousin had to lavish her with some love! It is so cool how cousins work. They may not see each other much, but when the do, they all love each other so much and absolutely love spending time with each other.

Channing loved everyone looking at her and singing happy birthday to her. She had the biggest smile. And she was the very first of our kids to actually "dig" into her cake! No one else got messy, but Channing dug her little paw right in and shoveled it in her mouth.
This is a pic of her cake - with the little paw print in it :)
Holding her still was quite difficult. I really don't have a ton of pictures of the day, but Grandma Kay was able to entertain her for a bit with the balloon!
Opening presents.....it was interesting until she opened the crocs, then she just wanted to walk around and chew on them!
And here she is with shoes in hand, all done doing presents!
And of course, this is what it ends up looking like at the end of any family get together.....everyone, everywhere - I love it!
Happy Birthday Channing Hope~ We love you so much!
