Happy 1st Birthday Mia Grace!

*I almost forgot that I had to pick a winner for my first ever CSN giveaway! It drives me bonkers when people hold giveaways and then don't announce the winners for weeks, so before I forget again :) I picked my winner via random.org. The winner is #2, katychick. If I was more blog savy I would copy and paste the random.org box, but I don't know how (because it's not as simple as "copy and paste" or at least I don't think it is ;)). I hope you all believe me! :) I will be e-mailing katychick shortly to get your $25 CSN gift code. If I don't hear back from you in 48 hours another winner will be chosen. Thank you! :)

Today, January 18, 2011 (at 9:11am, to be exact :)), my sweet little girl turns one! :) I can't believe it was 365 days ago that she came into our lives and turned our family of 3 into a family of 4. I can't imagine our lives without her. What a joyful, amazing, beautiful, wonderful, ornery ;) blessing she has been to our family. Tomorrow I will do my "What are you up to?" post about all the great things she is doing at one, but today, I just want to give her an official blog birthday post :)

We have some running around to do, all while she wears her adorable little "birthday dress" from Macy's :) I'm just glad to be spending the entire day with her. I couldn't sleep (even on my day off) so as I'm typing this it's 5:51am so I apologize for any misspellings or grammatical errors (but, let's be honest, they'd be there even if it wasn't early morning! ;)

Happy 1st Birthday Mia Grace!!!!!

And for good measure...(a few pics from March 2010)...
