HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTIN!

Today is Kristin's first birthday! Yay! We cant believe it has already been a year since Kristin was born! We miss her being so small and our little baby, but we also love the age she is at because we interact so much with each other and have tons of fun.

Her birthday started off with singing "Happy Birthday" with all of her cousins and daddy, with me on the speaker phone since I was at work. Justin got to video tape it, here is the video from her very first "Happy Birthday" song!



Later I got home from work Kristin and I got ready to go pick up daddy at work and then go to JC Penny to get her 1 year photos taken. Once we finally got there (late as usual) we thought things would go just as smooth as her 6 month photos would, wow what a difference 6 months can make! She was affraid of the photographers and cried a few times, didnt want to sit or stand long enough to get a few good shots, and get this....she didnt like her cake!! (the purpose of the cake was for her to dig in and get messy and cute and we just laugh and take pictures :) We ended up getting a few really good shots of her, we are so excited and cant wait for the pictures to come in. We get to pick them up later this month. Once we get them in ill scan them in so you can all see them.

After pictures we went over to Macaroni Grill to meet up with Nana & Papa Collins, and Nana and Grandad Roberts. Kris was in such an entertainers mood the whole evening. She was clapping, laughing, and ate tons of french fries! (her first time ever!) Nana and Papa gave her some super cute clothes (thank you Nana & Papa!). We all sang her Happy Birthday again, she is really lovin this song! At the end she claps and yells "Yay!".

We cant believe the day is done already. One year gone, another one beginning. Who knows what the Lord has in store for her, but our prayer is we continue to raise a little girl who loves Jesus with all her heart and will, Lord willing, follow Him when she is older. We finally are beginning to realize what so many parents have told us, cherish every moment because in a blink of an eye they are grown and gone...its only been one year, but we are beginning to see that this time will be gone before we know it.

Here are some of the memories from her first birthday dinner, we hope you enjoy them as much as we do:
