it's a party

On Monday we celebrated Sophie's 1st birthday!!! We had the best time and here are some pics I thought we'd share:

Let's start with a couple decorations...



Marty made the most amazing birthday cakes...

And Soph got to use the Red Plate for the first time!

Mmm... it's fun eating birthday cake!


Sophie got a pony from her grandpa!



And she got a sweet ride from the fam!


Here she is opening all her fabulous presents-


Here's everyone....

(Kristi found a hidden talent...I think she's takin this act on the road.)

And Soph got to hang out with her sis Alexandria...what a nice present!


Thank you everyone so much!!! You all made Sophie's first birthday so special!


Eric update: He is now in Louisiana, and we think he has found a 'home'. He is in charge of a medium sized crew that will be picking up hurricane debris (trees, seaweed, etc) in the swamplands outside of New Orleans. He is excited to get to get to work and to have his first real assignment. We love you babe! You are doing amazing!
