Violet Ella Turns One!!

We are amazed that a year has already gone by since our Violet was born. She brings us so much joy! Here's to many, many more, Baby V!!

What better way to celebrate than with chocolate cake and buttercream frosting (and no bib!! I seriously need to do some laundry!)?













gonna get daddy!!







One year ago, at just about this time, this picture was taken. To date, it has the most hits on our photo website. Violet weighed 10 lb. 10.5 oz. at birth. (We'll find out on Tuesday for sure, but I don't think she's even doubled her weight yet.)
