Our little girl's ONE today!

My how the days fly by when you have a baby! I think this has been one of the quickest, yet best years yet! We have thoroughly enjoyed each and everyday with our little Elliana and cannot believe how much she is doing and how quickly she learns things everyday. We both have teared up, sat in amazement, praised our God, and laughed as we look back at this past year. We have had so many joys with with Elliana and we are so THANKFUL to the Lord for her!

Here are some "pre" birthday event decorations and a few gifts on her birthday! :)

Elliana sitting in her new table...from Great Grandma Rachel, Mommy and Daddy and Grammy & Papa E!

A few of mommy's party planning for Elliana's party and family dinner this Saturday!!



Opening some presents this morning! Elliana liked the presents (Thanks Uncle Ben, Aunt Erin, Clare, and Mimi & Kerkhof) but she really got into the boxes and wrapping afterwards!



Grammy & Grandpa C came over this past weekend to celebrate a little pre-birthday!
