Mia's 1st Birthday!

Mia had her first birthday! Her birthday was back in June. I cannot believe that she is already a year old. Where does the time go? The Saturday before her birthday we had a small party with some friends. Mia enjoyed pizza and chocolate cake! I got her some balloons, but she stay a safe distance away from them. She didn't mind wearing the birthday hat, but she didn't like it when mom and dad wore them. I had grand ideas of baking a cake from scratch and making it owl themed and being wonderful, then reality set in and the grocery store is a lot easier.

She got some very nice gifts at her party. Delaney gave her Charlie, which was her's when she was little. Charlie is a giant teddy bear which I am sure Mia will love her whole life:) Mike and Whitney got Mia a shopping cart full of "grocery's". Mia loves to walk around with her cart!

Doug and I both took off her actual birthday so we could spend the day together as a family. It was a really great day of relaxation and family time. We slept in, then went to lunch and ordered Mia her own meal. She LOVED it. She especially loved the chocolate milk she had for a drink. Then we went for a walk and relaxed at home. Mia got to open her presents and then play all afternoon with the presents from Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts and Doug and I:) She also got a great sprinkler, bubbles and cute outfit from her friends Emily, Nate and Stirling!
