What a fantastic day!!

We had a most wonderful 1st birthday party for Mary Clare and I’ll post photos as soon as I get a few from family!! I was so caught up in the day, I completely forgot to take the first one! (I do remember lots of flashes, so hopefully the entire event is well documented!) This photo was taken this morning as Mary Clare and I finished unpacking the car from the party…

It was a very special day and we were honored to have Annabelle’s family and Emerson and her family with us to help celebrate! For now, Annabelle’s mom has posted a few photos at www.babygirlbutcher.blogspot.com

Also a few more photos at Sara Preston’s website. Sara Preston is another sweet and very cute friend of Mary Clare’s. We were thrilled to have so many wonderful and very generous friends at the party! Thanks to you all! We were able to contribute a ton of baby items and over $1,000 in monetary donations for Annabelle’s baskets! (So far… they are still coming!) It is truly amazing!

Kerri I followed both links and let me tell you how lucky you are to have such sweet ladies as friends. I cried my eyes out reading their blogs. It was good to cry b/c it seems like I haven’t let go of my emotions in years b/c life is too busy to stop and cry. Their faith is AMAZING! Thanks for sharing

Kerri, I still want to help with the baskets in any way I can. What is there a shortage of or would you rather I sent a check. It looks like your party was a huge success. Happy birthday to precious Mary Clare.
