Happy 1st Birthday Arya Quinn!

My baby girl turned a year old on Saturday (January 7)! I can't believe it's already been a year! In some ways giving birth seems so long ago. In other ways, it seems like it was just recently.
We celebrated her birthday with a small party. We had family and some close friends over for cake and presents. My family came in from out of town. It was great to have them all here for the celebration. Even both my grandma's came! Aunt Shannon and Uncle Terry stayed at our house while the rest of the family stayed in a hotel. Here are pictures from the party:

Looking excited about the cake!

Trying her cake. She was hesitant at first...

...then got more into it.

She enjoyed her cake for the most part. She didn't like being messy though and got quite upset.

Time for presents! (She has the pacifier because she was very tired.)

With her gift from Mommy and Daddy!

Opening a book, with assistance from Daddy

A princess book from Grandma Debbie!

She really enjoys it!
