Rachel is One...can you believe it??!!

Our precious little Rachel just turned one this month. I still can't believe it!! She has been such a delight and we all just love her to pieces. My absolute favorite is watching the kids play with her. They certainly love their little Rachel...and she loves them right back!!! What a novelty babies can be!! We all had so much fun celebrating her Big Day!!Rachel had a BLAST eating her very own cake (which is always my favorite part of a One year old's birthday...and apparently Rachel's favorite part too!!)And Hannah, in her usual helpful way, made sure that Rachel's cake didn't go to waste!!Vern was in charge of clean-up...well, at least the clean-up of Rachel. Which was quite a job all by itself...note the apron!! hahaTyler was adorable...he woke up that morning and wanted to make Rachel's birthday poster all by himself. So he did. Spelling and all (well, I helped with "Happy"...the rest was all him). Isn't it cute!!
Which left me with the food...but I didn't mind. It's sometimes fun to try new recipes- like this Chicken Salad on croissants. It was scrumptious!! Rachel loved the fruit!!

But most importantly...we all joined in on celebrating our Precious Little Girl (who's standing next to me right now just babbling and laughing...what a fun age!!)

WE LOVE YOU RACH!!
