Brenna is One!

It's hard to believe that one year ago Brenna joined our family. She brings us pure joy and we still can't stop gazing at her. She is so precious, sweet, happy, miniature, and delightful. In many ways I am sad this first year has come and gone, but in other ways this one year milestone means life is about to get a little easier for our family. Cale and I were talking today about how we would love to have three more years of our life right now.



We had a little birthday party with the family. It was a great excuse to get together.

We played "pin the Brenna on the castle" and musical hats.

Brenna received three of the same gift, the cutest singing toddler purse with all of the necessary items and accessories. She definitely got spoiled by all of her Grandpas and Grandmas, uncles and aunties, and cousins!

On her actual birthday (January 21), we went to Culvers as a family. She got to eat all of the french fries and icecream she wanted!

Here's Brenna working for the camera:

    Happy Birthday Brenna! January 21 is the best day ever to be born!

    She is so cute and sweet. She looks like Suzette with red hair! I love the blue/brown dress. I got that same exact dress for my new granddaughter! You better get going on the next baby... and the next one... and the next one! I mean you want to keep the award of most children right? And you do have a 20 year reunion to attend someday ;).

    You have an adorable little family.

    You're right, I would sit and stare at her, too! She is lovely. We love your blog! We smile at pictures, and then Dave starts telling mission stories which usually end with both of us laughing. You guys are great!
