Happy Party Vaughn-elise

Today was Vaughn-elise's party. Its alot like Christmas, you plan and plan and plan and are so excited and in a few short hours its all over. I think it went very well and Vaughn had alot of fun playing and interacting with everyone. She was short on sleep but did very well. I was so proud of her. She was up alot tonight, pretty wired. Possibly from the cake? Who knows. She did not get to eat very much of it as I did not want her to have a belly ache but she did so good with it, she was very dainty about it and just picked things off and ate them. No smashing the cake in for Vaughn :) The video turned out AWESOME. I am so excited about it. I am thankful that Phillippe and Amanda are able to do such an awesome job at those so that in the years or days to come we can all look back and reflect on the memories. I want to be able to show Vaughn-elise that video and let her see how much we loved her and what songs reminded us of her. Thanks guys, for doing such a beautiful job with that!

She had family here from the Quad Cities that she had not seen in a long time. They could not believe how much she had grown. :) Not alot of her family Its amazing to look around that room and know that all these people love that girl to pieces. She is very blessed to have so many people in her life who adore her!

She got lots of fun gifts and we are going to stay busy writting thank you letters! Thanks to all of you who made her first birthday party very very special. It is a day i will never forget. I am cherishing these last few days of her being "not quite one". Next wednesday I wont be able to say that anymore!!! I love her to pieces. She is my world, my reason, my thoughts, my prayers, my love, my passion, my every tiny itty bitty little thing.

I love you Vaughn-elise and I hope you felt special today, even if you do not understand birthdays I do hope you felt the love in the room for you. My sweet sweet baby girl.

I'm sorry to have missed it (believe me, the tournament was not exactly high on my list of places to be that day). My mom said she got some good video and that miss Vaughn was absolutely adorable! They had a great time.
