She is ONE and such joy! I got her pictures taken at target last week and she started off shy and ended up with faces like these. The photographer said, looks like we got all her emotions except crying. I replied, nope she doesn't really cry, so it looks like we got them all! It is so true, she is such a great baby. I love that I can go places with her and she is so content to sit and play. She loves her brother and sister and is constantly trying to follow them around and be involved with what they are doing.
Aunt Alisha gave Alyssa this cute shirt and bow for her birhday (the skirt we borrowed from Sydney for the pictures-so cute, right!)
This dress was Nadine's when she was one and she wants all her grandkids to have a picture in it when they are one. Isn't she adorable in it.
Grandma and Grandpa Hall celebrated early when they came to visit. They brought Alyssa a baby doll with accessories. She is very into feeding the baby and loving the baby. If you show her what to do, she will copy it.
Her actual birthday was the same day as my Grandpa's funeral which was nice because the family was all together for it. I made her cake...it was supposed to have a fondant bow and be really cute, but I need to learn how to do fondant first! Then I made mini cupcakes which turned out great for all the little grandkids running around-less mess (not no mess, just less!)
I loved watching her open her presents...mostly because it involved so much help from others. Spencer helped open several and Sydney found the ones that suited her and took off with them. She got a baby doll from Grandma Gardner and was bouncing up and down waiting for Heath to get it out of the box, it was so cute.
I love how she devoured her cake! It took her a minute, but as you can see she really got into it and made a great mess!
Happy First Birthday Alyssa!

She is so cute! I can't believe she is already one. Crazy. I love the cake pictures too - that is how I like to eat it too ;)
Yes. We drove in one shot to Arizona. We left at 3AM hoping they would sleep most of the time. They did sleep some, but definitely not most. But it wasn't bad. My mom brought portable DVD player for them and I didn't even have to use it. I don't know if I would have broken it up. It was nice to get it over with. lol. The burger joint is in Gilbert. Super tasty. http://joesfarmgrill.com/
