Hello? Are they here yet? Evelyn anxously awaits her guests in her birthday crown. Daniel and I had a really good talk the night before about looking forward to a birthday with the actual birth experience so fresh in our minds. It is totally different celebrating your child's birthday than anyone else's. He said "This is what my mom thought about on my birthday" When he looked at the clock and said I was in the middle of labor at this time last year, I told him "There's no way I'm going to think about that!" ;) We can't believe she is one year old. As I write this she is dancing if front of the fridge to her new alphabet magnet game. She has been walking well for two months and she approached her first birthday with six teeth and a seventh on the way.
Finally! Grandma and grandpa are here. Let's open presents! We had a wonderful party with all of her little cousins and a whole table full of presents. My sister Lenore made it over with her two kids and my brother and his girl and youssef and Lynne and their two girls were all on hand to witness the big event. We even had some extra friends there just for the heck of it!
Evelyn really liked being sung too and she wasn't too keen on the cupcake but she went to town on the ice-cream we had later. She is such a sweet and active girl. She is so so busy and always figuring out how things work and getting into everything!
Thanks everyone who came and shared in our girl turning one!!!!!! (And thanks Grandma for the really great dress...pictures to come later)

Natalie,
Very cute pictures! If you haven't checked recently, you should look at my blog as I have a picture of your hubby with my Daniel on it. :)
It was great to see you guys last Wednesday!
Blessings,
Heather
Natalie, I really really like to see the pictures and commentary on your blog!!! I know it can be a pain to do, but when my cell phone is finished (which... it won't turn on now at the moment anyway... stupid.. and we're still paying for it... stupid) anyway, you'll have to post more or get on face book so we can still keep in touch since I don't go out there much.
Did you see the pictures on our blog of her b-day? I'd put several post on all at once so it might be in "older posts" and maybe you missed it? Anyway, just thought I'd tell you. Our pictures weren't as good as yours though, but we have a LOT in case you need more or something. ;)
(I really like the anticipation picture, by-the-way!)
