She's ONE!!

At 5:34 a.m. Graceyn Brielle Evans turned one year old. 365 days ago our world changed for the better. I couldn't imagine a day without her in my life now. Motherhood has been by far the greatest thing I've ever experienced. There were days that I thought I wouldn't survive because she was crying/screaming/refusing to nap. But we made it, and we continue to make it. Each day with her is such a blessing to me and I hope I never take her for granted. I've read several blogs from mothers who have lost their children and my heart just mourns for them. I pray that I can see her grow old and start a family of her own someday. This girl will never know what joy and happiness she has brought to my life!!

We had her birthday party yesterday and she had a blast! Thanks to all of our family and friends for coming!

She loved her cake! We try not to give her anything too sweet, so she thoroughly enjoyed licking all the icing off her hands! (Btw.. My MIL made her pants and I made her shirt!)

We celebrated her real birthday by waking her up and singing happy birthday to her. She wasn't quite sure what to think lol. We had put her present together the night before so it was like Christmas morning for her to walk out of her room and see this...

We tied a bee balloon on it and she was

more excited about the balloon than the toy! Daddy made her pink pancakes for breakfast and we tied balloons to her crib too!

Now we are heading to BG for a fun fall day at Jackson's Orchard! Have a good holiday weekend!!

Blessed.
