Esther turned One Year Old!

It is absolutely crazy how time flies. On Sunday, September 21 my beautiful niece turned 1 year old.  I can still remember the day my sister called and told me I was going to be an Aunt.  We were skyping and she held up a sonogram and I just stared at it.  She asked me if I knew what it was and I told her yes I do then finally looked at her!  I think I screamed at that point too!  I was so excited to be an Aunt.  Now 1 year and 9 months later it's hard to believe how much time has gone by.  I can remember that first day I held her in the hospital. 

So here we are, Sunday September 21, 2014.  Esther is one year old, starting to walk, and makes us all laugh with her many noises.  She "sings" This Little Light of Mine by putting her little finger in the air while someone sings the lyrics and loves to make little elephant noises while shaking her head at the same time.  Way too cute! 

My sister planned a beautiful birthday party on a beautiful fall day! We had chili, salad, corn bread, beautiful flowers and delicious pie or a cup cake if you're Esther!! 

Esther opened many gifts including a pop out tunnel, many books, building blocks, xylophone, a scooter, and the cutest winter hat ever!!  It was a great day.  Here are a few photos capturing the fun!  

 Happy 1st Birthday Esther!
