Birthday girl

It was a crazy, hectic day. But it was also great. All the preparation was worth it. We had a really fun party for Allie and she definitely enjoyed being the Birthday girl, though she faded fast toward the end. We took some great pictures and video, but it may be a day or two before I post it. Mama and Dada are tired.

We'll do more celebrating tomorrow with a birthday brunch and giving Allie our presents. Everyone, the birthday girl included, was too tired to do more celebrating tonight.

I went back and read Allie's birth story just now. You can read it by clicking here, if you wish. Two things jumped out at me. First is that I was such a wimp! But the second is the miracle of our little girl. So many things tried to go wrong in her birth, but everything turned out perfect. She's our angel and she's 1 now!
