Scarlett Turns ONE!

The last year at home has come and gone, and it has been amazing. Over the last few months, Scarlett's personality has been emerging and flourishing. Watching her roll, sit, crawl, stand, walk and run has blurred together to form our determined little ginger girl, with a mischievous smile and an easy laugh. She seemed so easy going in her early months, we worried that Lacey was going to walk all over her. But Scarlett has proven time and time again that she can hold her own against her big sister. She has a fiery little temper, if I've ever seen one!

I love her so much! She has made our family complete.

We celebrated Scarlett's first birthday with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Lacey opened most of Scarlett's gifts for her (but Scarlett didn't mind), and Scarlett ate pasta and pizza for dinner. She got toys, clothes, stuffed animals and shoes, and was generally spoiled rotten (thank you, everyone)!

I made chocolate cupcakes into a flower bouquet, with a few bumblebees and lady bugs for good measure. It was Scarlett's first time eating a cupcake, and she mostly enjoyed the frosting.

Lacey has taught us that life only gets more interesting after the first year.  So we'll have to see what Scarlett has in store for us. 

Happy 1st Birthday, Scarlett! You and your sister are lights in our lives!
