Happy First Birthday Audrey Sophia!!

This past weekend Justin and I went to College Station to celebrate Audrey's 1st Birthday. It's hard to believe she is already a year old! There was lots of food, friends, and fun! The birthday girl had a blast and it was so much fun getting to see her light up at the little things from balloons...to cake...to seeing all of the people that love her so much. It's just so fun to watch babies and their curiosity and pure genuine happiness. Rachel (Audrey's mom) handmande all of the decorations. She got a lot of the ideas off of pinterest and man did she do a fabulous job!! Everything came together perfectly. I LOVED the pinwheels - still can't believe she made them! Audrey's cupcakes were absolutely delicious...one of the best cupcakes I've ever had! When it came time for presents, Audrey was more interested in her cards and showing them to everyone - it was so cute. Her presents with books were saved for last because she loves to read so much that it would have halted the present opening if they were mixed in and not at the end. Pretty amazing that a one year old already loves books this much. So here's some of my favorite pictures...they were hard to choose because Audrey is so dang cute...and out of 150 pictures - almost all of them are of her!

ICE: Shrek The Halls

This past weekend my parents and Justin and I went to Dallas and stayed at the Gaylord Texan to go to ICE. We went 2 years ago with Michael and Christine and had a blast. This years theme is Shrek The Halls. It was SO cute!! A little more hectic this year since it's gained popularity in the last couple of years but I definitely want to go again next year...just maybe in November before the craziness starts. The only time I've been to the Gaylord it has been decorated for Christmas but it is SO pretty!!
