Reagan's First Birthday... oh my!

Since Reagan's birthday is only two days before Christmas we've decided to do a half birthday celebration in the summer and only do a small family get together on her birthday.  However, this was the first birthday so we did do more than we said we would, but hey, it only happens once right? 

For all the family who couldn't make it, picture overload.

Preparing for the big event, Aunt Stephanie icing cupcakes for us. Thank you!

 She wasn't too sure what to think about this glow worm from Grandma Horn

Do you think she likes hair clips?

Yes, she has learned to pose for the camera

I don't know if there is anything Reagan loves more than reading books.  We have a little book corner in our living room and we often find her over there alone just "reading" books to herself.

Apparently she was very excited for the doodle board!  She caught on quickly on how this whole present thing works.

From Aunt Allison...

Baby Converse!!! So freakin' cute!

The beautiful birthday cake from Dippidee Cakes in American Fork, gotta love having a baking hook up in the family! (yes it started to sink because someone didn't put it in the fridge... whoops! Hey I cook, I'm not known for my baking.)

Everyone thought I was strange, but I loved the extra long candles!

She really is my daughter, would barely touch the cake.  Tried the icing and made a sour face... what can I say, she's a healthy one!

Finally we had to spoon feed her a bite to get her to try the cake...

...still wasn't too big of a fan.

So she decided to just play.

And feed it to Grandpa Horn!

When all was said and done

I still can't believe our little one is already a year old!  I've always heard about how fast it goes, but I really didn't think it would go this fast.  She took her sweet little time getting here and now I wish it would just slow down.  We are so grateful for our little Reagan, she truly is a blessing in our home and we could not imagine life without her.  She is such a joy in our lives and I am constantly amazed that I get to be her mother.  Happy Birthday Little!
