Ali's 1st Birthday

Ali celebrated her first birthday on Thursday. I took off work to spend the day with her on Thursday and we met Brad for lunch and then had a cupcake for dessert.

We also had a party on Friday night.

Cameron says that Anna is her best friend :)

 Ali loved her birthday cake! She actually ate it all! (with some help from her three little friends :)

Clean up time! 

The party went late so we opened presents the next morning.

It was difficult keeping Cameron from opening all of Ali's presents.

Lots of first birthday loot!

Easter

This was Ali's first Easter. Last year, I remember counting down the days to Easter and not being able to make plans because we didn't know when she would come. Her due date was like the day after Easter last year. What a difference a year makes. I feel like Ali always gets the short end of the stick on presents because we have so many hand-me-downs from Cam that it seems silly to buy her more stuff when she doesn't even know the difference. Sooo...Cameron got to enjoy candy and toys while Ali got...a book and some Elmo eggs with like 1 M&M in each.  We went to Oma Janice's for lunch and an Easter Egg hunt and then back to Nana & Papa's for supper.
