Celebrating





To celebrate turning one, we took away the bottle.  We switched to whole milk.  We had cake.  We opened presents.  And we even had to get Laney a present.  Yep, I did it.  I gave my oldest child a present on my baby's first birthday.  But I couldn't disappoint her.  She has seen a present from Grandma Karen and Grandpa Ralph for the past week and saying "Laney present."  I keep telling her "No, Allie's present."  I kept Laney's present for last and about half way through Allie's gifts she finally asked again, "Laney present?"  And she loved the cute pink backpack that we gave her.  So I am okay with it.  It was a good day.  Fun to celebrate with family.

Erin and Katie-
When I am uploading the pictures, I select none on the choose a layout option. Then when they are all uploaded I can drag them where I want them so they appear in rows like that. Hope that makes sense.
