Sick Birthday Girl

Today our sweet baby girl turned 1! I must admit that whenever our girls have a birthday I always relive their first days with us. Today was no exception. I thought about making the almost five hour drive, hoping that we would make it to the hospital in time for her birth. I remember getting the message that our baby girl had been born in the middle of the night and she was already at the Children's Hospital, we could not get there fast enough.  And then I remember walking into her hospital room and laying eyes on our baby girl...
This sweet little baby girl stole our hearts. And the past year year has been an amazing adventure with her! Oh the joy Kelly has brought to our family.
Sadly this week Kelly has been sick. It started Monday night and girlfriend cannot kick whatever she has. So her birthday was not a ton of fun for her. Thankfully it was nice outside and we were able to spend some time swinging. These next two pictures are the happiest the birthday girl was all day. She spent about 45 minutes in her swing and those were the happiest 45 minutes she had all day.

 If you know Jennifer well you know the girl loves a birthday and let me tell you she was very excited for her baby girl to have a birthday! So even though Kelly wasn't feeling well, we made her endure a cupcake, simply for photo purposes and to make her sisters happy.
Look at the excitement on this face! The poor girl just wanted to be held and snuggled.

 It's her party and she will cry if she wants to!!
 Thinking maybe, just maybe she will see what this thing on her tray is.
 She was really not that impressed.

 And she had finally had it. She just looks sad doesn't she?
Even though you are sick and sad, Happy Birthday sweet Kelly girl! We are beyond blessed that we get to have you in our family. Oh how we love this little girl...
