Flynne's FIRST Birthday Party!

Yesterday, we celebrated Flynne! I can't believe she's already ONE. We had a nice gathering with family to help us celebrate. Everyone munched on food, food & more food as well as lots of desserts. (I have pictures of the food on a different camera, I'll post later!) Flynne did amazingly well & was not scared of everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to her. Even Uncle Randy didn't scare her with his awesome singing voice ;) She thoroughly enjoyed watching her little cousins run around and do everything possible to try & make her laugh. One of our highlights was getting to Skype with my brother & sis-in-law (sister) in California! We connected with them on the big screen & they were able to see Flynnie and her cute outfit, as well as everyone else at the party.

We feel so very blessed to have such an amazing family & so many people who love us & Flynne! I know that family is something that can be taken for granted & sometimes you don't appreciate them like you should. But, the older & wiser I get, the more I realize how special our families are. With all of our differences, uniqueness & quirks, we are all individuals who make up a pretty great group of people. I don't know of any other families out there that could call upon any parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin (on both sides) and know that they would do anything for us at anytime. What an amazing feeling to know how lucky & blessed we truly are. I'm so proud to raise my daughter in a family that values their relationships and is so caring, loving & compassionate for one another. Below are just a couple pictures from Flynne's big day!

I made the "smash cake" below. Super easy & so cute!
