Happy Birthday Kirari!

My baby girl turned one last week. Needless to say it was a very emotional time for me. Ari has brought so much joy to our family. I didn't realize how great it is to be a mother. I have so much fun with Ari. For Ari's birthday grandpa and grandma Smith made a trip out to visit. They spoiled her with lots of gifts. Her favorite being the wagon. She thinks she is such a big girl because she can climb in and out of the wagon. I also learned how much work it takes to make a cake. She may be the only child we have that gets a home-made cake. Thank you to the family members that sent her so many nice gifts, you know who you are.
