The Birthday Girl!!
Saturday morning Craig and I went to pick up our niece so she could spend another night with us. Sunday (today) was her 1st birthday party (her actual birthday isn't until Wednesday). We went shopping just to have something to do. I'd already bought her present so we just wanted to get some stuff to spoil her. (We actually bought my sister a digital camera. Might not seem like a good present for a kid but it was something my sister really wanted). Uncle Craig decided that she needed a pair of pink and white Nikes. (picture of her with them on is a few shots down) I have an obsession with Nikes of all colors so he wanted to get a jump start on hers! LOL

She was just so sweet all day! She was pretty tired but never complained. When we got home I fed and bathed her and then Uncle Craig rocked her to sleep.



I was never one to let my kids sleep in my bed, but last night a couple of hours after I put her in her crib she woke up so I just put her in the bed between Craig and I. She snuggled up to Craig and I alternately and even laid on Jade for a little bit. After Craig left this morning to play golf she and I ate then headed back to bed for a little while.
I got her ready for her party and we headed over to my sister's house. She was SO funny with "her" cake and dove right in, head first!

Everyone was just having a good time in general. This is Craig and my brother.

Have I mentioned how much I love this girl?

My dad and my brother

My grandmother (closest) my mom (with the basket in her lap) and various other family memebers


And finally, my sister and my niece.
