Oh How Fun, Everleigh is One!

May 18, 2015

We spent the weekend in New York, which is why I'm behind on Everleigh's 12 month photos. Hopefully I can take them tomorrow morning so they're only a day or so late. But being late on the pictures was well worth it, because we had an amazing time. Everleigh and I finally got to meet Mackenzie, who was even more gorgeous in person. She gave us some fabulous smiles and seemed to enjoy watching Jakob and Everleigh run around and screech. Heather and Mark were up from Texas, and it was the first time we've seen them in over a year. Actually, we saw Heather just two days before Everleigh was born, so we were very excited for her and Mark to meet Everleigh.

We celebrated Everleigh's birthday on Sunday (since today was a travel day for us), and it was a blast. Heather made delicious chocolate cupcakes, and Molly found a perfect pink strawberry frosting for them. We borrowed Mackenzie's swing and set up on the front porch for a feast of BBQ chicken and corn, followed by cupcakes for Everleigh and ice cream cake for Mark. As you can see in the pictures, Everleigh LOVED cupcakes and frosting. It was funny to watch Jakob carefully eat his cupcake. He was practically clean, especially compared to Everleigh. He also did a wonderful job letting Everleigh have her time to shine, which was made easier by the love and attention he got from everyone all weekend.
