Piper's First Birthday

-





I know every parent says this and I've said it every year with my darlings, but I really can't believe that she is 1! My sweet smiling Piper has been with us for a whole year now. We have been so blessed to have her gentle, but increasingly wild spirit in our family. The boys just adore their sister. They always have, but now that she can interact with them it is a whole new ball game. The other day I actually found Piper bouncing on the boys bed while Max and Cooper were jumping on it. Crazy kids!

Anyway, how did we celebrate her big day? Piper is one lucky girl! She had two special parties. One with Nana and Gramps and the other one with CC, Granddad, Great Grandma, Great Papa, Auntie Jo, and cousin Abby. Each was sweet in their own way.

With Nana and Gramps we ate Pei Wei for lunch and then let her dig into a bright pink princess cake. I love first birthday cake pictures!!!

With the rest of our family, we had a pic-nic in our back yard and enjoyed cupcakes that Max helped decorate.

I loved seeing how proud Max and Cooper were of their little sister turning one. Cooper sang Happy Birthday so sweetly and Max was so careful to help her in every way.

I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I love the memories!

Our precious Piper will be two weeks old tomorrow! So much has changed and yet she has slipped right into our family so perfectly. I will have to write more to tell you what has been going on in our home, but for now enjoy these photos I took of her this morning. I love the simplicity of her holding the pink carnation. So beautifully organic.

When we were first Married, Jeff's Dad would always ask us if we still love eachother...well we do. This weekend we are celebrating our 6 year anniversery of our first date! I had to show off what Jeff got me because it is so neat. He said it is to help me feed Cooper...but I know he wanted it for himself too. He is very sneaky...hehe. Anyway, I will be enjoying my new Eagle's Nest lounger for a very long time. (If you come to visit us I might let you try it out.)

Day 3: July 28

Today was THE day!  Miley Mengcong Bostrom’s Gotcha day!  We woke up anxiously at 5am and waited until 6:30 before going down to breakfast.  Breakfast was wonderful.  There were all kinds of food we had never had before and some that looked familiar like fruit, sausage, and bacon.   We had to wait until 10:30 until finally getting to meet Miley so we walked around the inside and outside of the hotel.  There is a lap pool that is amazing. We can’t wait to swim in it….maybe tomorrow.  We found a bakery that sells the cutest cakes in the shape of cars or cartoon characters.  We will probably buy one for Miley, because tomorrow is her birthday.  We were mainly trying to waist time… When it was finally time, our guide told one family member come outside and get your new child.  Well that wasn’t going to happen, Jeff and I both went with him….and….we….waited….again!  It was probably one a couple of minutes, but sudde...
