Birthday Girl

On November 21, Josie turned 1 year old!  We can't believe how quickly this year flew and how much she has grown!

To celebrate, we just had a family dinner at our house on Saturday with Ryan's family (we will celebrate with my family while we are in NC for Thanksgiving).  We had soup and grilled cheese, Josie's faves, and cupcakes!

Josie was spoiled with all of the gifts and attention!

 This is the first time I have had made-from-scratch cake and frosting turn out well at the same time!

Josie likes her gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Lindsay

Addy enjoys playing with the ribbons!

I got a card...

What does it say?

Oh, Happy Birthday!

Sharing.  Josie likes the tissue paper and Addy likes the ribbons.

Make a wish!

My wish is to eat this cupcake!

Also, the Fuglers and the Thompsons managed to take their Christmas card pictures.  Scroll down for a preview.

Lovely.

Happy Holidays!

Colorado Baby Shower

On Saturday, I had my Colorado Baby Shower. Thanks to Jan Fugler, Erin Fugler Thompson and Courtney Borus for planning a beautiful shower! The weather was nice, the food and games were great (and so was the Celestial Seasonings peppermint tea!), and the company was the best. So many friends and family were able to attend, and baby and I feel absolutely spoiled. We received such generous presents that there are only a handful of items that Ryan and I will need before the baby is born...we are almost completely stocked!
