My beautiful, squishy, speed-crawling, determined, goofy, not-tickle-loving, precious, sweetheart has turned one year old!
Both sets of grandparents and an aunt were able to come! We had presents (books), dinner (potato soup) and dessert together.
Brownie with ice cream and hot fudge… it’s no wonder we forgot to take a picture before it was mostly gone!
Jordan and Carolyn polished off a brimming bowl of chili and some yogurt before dessert. We were surprised Carolyn had room for brownie. But really… who wouldn’t?
Hanging out chatting and having a nice time!
Carolyn actually enjoyed pulling her presents out of the bags!

Taking those post-first-birthday-cake pictures has never been a talent of mine.
Pre-birthday brownies
She took one nibble and her face lit up. She ate half of a giant brownie before smooshing and throwing the rest.
Sisters!
Ready for bath!
Cutie.
Anna’s first birthday dress… and Carolyn’s first birthday dress. I’m retiring this dress now.
Sticky fingers!
Dearest Carolyn Sorry I missed your big party!!! But looks like you had a jolly good time!! What wonderful times you have together!! On into the 2’s. Love Grandma Reta
Why must we always be behind??? She needs to be about 8 months old right now. And stay there for a few more months. THEN she can turn 1 sometime after that!
Happy birthday Carolyn! You are such a blossoming beauty!! As much as I lag behind, I am so glad you grow and grow because its so fun to watch your own little heart and spirit come out as you do!! Love you. Aunty Melissa
