{Layla's First Birthday}

We celebrated Layla's first birthday Saturday, one day early. We wanted to do something fun that everyone would enjoy. Paul came up with the genius idea to go sledding, so we did! I think everyone enjoyed it. Unfortunately, there were are few crashes with other sledders, but all was well. After sledding we all headed back to Grandma and Grandpa Blanchard's house for chili and taco soup and some yummy cupcakes. I have to add that I made the cupcake frosting all by myself...and it was goooooooood. After all the yummy food we went down stairs and opened presents and watch Layla dive into her very own giant cupcake!! (thank you Vera) I think Layla had a pretty awesome day. My highlight was a video that Aunt Cyndi put together of all of her photos from the year. It was a wonderful gift. Thank you to all that attended and for all the presents!

She sure did a better job at digging into her cake than Willow did. She looks so cute and grown up. I love the sledding idea too. Looks like it was a great party. Happens too fast huh! Merry Christmas!
