Jayda's first birthday!!

Yesterday we had Jayda's first birthday party, even though her actual birthday is not until this Thursday, the 24th. Jayda had so much fun and a lot of our family came out for the party. Funny enough, she wasn't too thrilled about her birthday cake. I think that it was super sweet and she'd never had anything like that before. It was pretty funny because she completely devoured the cake with her hands and only had about 2 licks of icing. Anyways, it was great to see everyone and it was so nice having the party here at our house. It was definitely a lot of work getting everything ready, and taking everything down, but it was totally worth it. Jayda got every single toy that is on the market right now and tons of clothes (plus some really cute dresses for our curise in August). She is loving all of her new toys and mommy is loving trying all her new outfits on her. Thanks to everyone that was able to come to the party and to everyone that couldn't make it, we missed y'all!

Jayda opened an early birthday present from Oma and loved her baby doll.
