It's been a year!

It's hard to believe that it has been a year already since Paityn has come into our lives, but here we are! On Paityn's birthday, we celebrated with just the three of us ( well, four of us. Dayzee helped open presents too!). Then the next Sunday, we had a big family party with the cake and the whole thing.

Paityn got a new Puppy dog (Mark said she could only have a stuffed one right now) and she loves it! Unfortunately, so does Dayzee :)

She didn't care quite as much about the clothes, although she looks super adorable in those jammies.

Cake I made for the family party

Singing "Happy Birthday" to the Birthday Girl!

We had practiced blowing out candles earlier that day, but she wouldn't/couldn't do it in front of an audience. Daddy had to help her.

She was a little shy with the cake at first, but eventually warmed up to the idea :)

That was all she ate of her cake! I was surprised she didn't totally destroy it. But it was a fun day!

Here is Patyn on Halloween. She got together with some of the cousins. She was a ballerina, Bridger was Spider Man, Brielle was a Panda, Ashlyn was a vampire, and Logan was a scary Zombie guy.

I tried to get a good shot of her as a ballerina, but she moves all over the place and ALL the time. This was the best shot I could get. Most of the rest of them were just blurs.

We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! We are looking forward to a Happy Thanksgiving and then on to Christmas (I can hardly believe it!)!
