Ya-Ya's First Birthday/Dedication Party

Look at this child! Is she not the most adorable thing ever? We celebrated at our house with about forty of our closest friends (can we help it if our friends have lots of kids?). Our wonderful pastor and his wife blessed our entire family with a precious time of dedicating Olivia to our Lord and praying blessings on her and us as her parents. Then we p-a-r-t-i-e-d!! We didn't have to show the birthday girl what to do with her birthday cake. I barely got it put down in front of her before it was on her face and in her hair! Like the true girl that she is, the favorite birthday present was a new pair of Sunday shoes (the baby dolls were a close second). Thanks, Hauntie J for feeding the addiction! Thanks, Al for the wonderful pictures!
