Ok, So I know what you are all thinking! Joy is one? How did it happen? I too am wondering what has happened with the year. I can not believe that a year ago, our bundle of joy came into our lives.  It has been a remarkable year filled mostly with much happiness. Joy is so wonderful. To see pictures of her birth to now is amazing to watch how she has grown and come to life. She continues to show us her personality daily. At her 1 year check up last week she was 19 pounds 5 ounces (25th percentile), 29 3/4 inches (25th percentile) and her head I don’t remember the dimension but was in the 95th percentile. Apparently we have a very smart baby!

We decided to celebrate with a small party. Rich and Lorna and the kids came to grandma and grandpa’s to help with cake and ice cream and presents. I think everyone had a great time! Lorna made a beautiful cake, that tasted FANTASTIC!  So here are a few pictures of the great time we all had. I’m saving the cake ones for last because they’re so fun, but we did have cake before presents!

I know, it’s been absolutely forever since I’ve posted, so I apologize for that. I’m going to mainly post pictures and not talk a lot. Besides most of you guys just want to see the pictures anyway. So I’m going to start with Christmas and just put in most of our pics. It was great having family here and all the fun things. You’ll see pics of the kids baking, fun times with the pinata (Lorna and Rich’s Christmas tradition), some opening of presents and just good times.
