On November 2, 2011, our little ray of sunshine turned 1 year old. It's hard to believe a whole year has passed since we got to hold our sweet girl for the first time. She has brought so much joy to our family over the past year, and we can't wait for many more to come.
For Bailey's actual birthday on Wednesday, I took the day off from work, we had lunch with Daddy and ran a few errands to finish getting ready for the big party on Saturday. Then we had a family party with all the Luces, Kings, and Buzbys that night. Aunt Pam made yummy lasagna, and Bailey got to eat her first cupcake. She really liked it and said, "mmmmmm." She also got to open some presents.
Then on Saturday, November 5, we had our first birthday party, Minnie Mouse style. We had friends and family over and all the kids had a great time. I'll let the pictures do the talking, since there are lots:
