We had Caroline's first birthday party yesterday, and it was wonderful! Our theme was polka dots, and Gran made Caroline a huge cupcake with big polka dot sprinkles as her "smash" cake. She was definitely more delicate and girly than Daniel was. We had to take him straight to the bathtub, and she barely got any icing on her bib! She loved playing in the little ball pit, and grabbing at the balloons. One of her most favorite presents was a little horse and carriage blocks thing that her Uncle Brian gave her. She is very good at putting the blocks together and taking them back apart again. She gets so proud of herself! She also loves sitting at her big girl picnic table that her Uncle Jason made for her. She and Daniel ate their afternoon snack at it today. They looked too cute sitting there together enjoying the afternoon. We loved having all of our family and many friends here to celebrate with us. We are so fortunate to have so many wonderful people in our lives. The Lord has truly blessed us with a wonderful little daughter who has brought so much love and joy to us as a family. I can't believe how fast the year has flown! Below are some pics from the weekend!

C taking a break from all of the action!
