Willow's Birthday Party

It was a little someone's special day! (technically the day after)
;)

What made it even more special is that grandpa and grandma Hamilton were here to help celebrate this milestone. I didn't get too many pictures with grandpa and the kids during their stay because he was under the weather. But, we had a great time.......

Family time! 

Willow realizes Aunt Audrey really is crazy....... Haha JK ;)

"How old are you, Willow?"

Grandma time! Love this........

The Big 1 !!!! (Isaac made sure we had the right candle)..... Haha

She's looking at Dad like, "Are you going to hand that to me?"

She can hardly contain her excitement!

If she could talk this would be, "Give it to me!"

The big moment.......

I think it was agreeable for her ;)

....... and Ava and Isaac :)

A one year old doesn't quite grasp the concept of opening presents or know what a birthday even is.
But her brother and sister were both a big help in that department.......

Thank you, friends and family, for making Willow's first birthday special and for sending your love and gifts! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for my family and friends. 
It is a blessing to spend time with all of you.
Love to all......

Gobble, gobble, gobble........

Willow: One Year!

The B.I.G milestone! Our littlest Hami is a year old now! Yikes! Phases have passed; new challenges in the horizon. Ha! Our little girl has a lot of personality. At times, she's a comedian, actress, musician, and furniture mover..... lol

She's pretty good at already sounding out words: 

"Mamma", "Dadda", "Ball", "Dog", and  (almost) "light" 

She clearly yes "Yep!" 

Haha 

She gets a little attitude just like all one year olds. Thankfully, she has learned to point to things she wants.

She's still very much a nature girl...........

I'm still not used to seeing a little body frame like hers walking around. I love her bowl-legged gait. Ava used to walk just like that at her age. She's getting used to walking around in those things called shoes ;)

Oh baby, you light up the world wherever you go!
