Truly a gift from God, she has brought so much joy to our lives these past 12 months!

Of course, a family celebration is in order to enjoy this big milestone.

Some photos from Ada's 1st birthday party...

Absolutely ADORED by her big sister Lucy...

Big brother Daniel is always up for a party!

Ada's first pair of "real" shoes!

Ada loved her first American Girl doll, a Bitty Baby...especially her eyes...

Big brother Abram made a gift for Ada too!

Ada is already growing up to be a tough girl...Daniel will see to that!

Meanwhile, Lucy is looking through Ada's new clothes and folding/organizing them. That's how Lucy rolls!

Bring on the smash cupcake!

A little help from Daddy blowing out the candle...

This sweet baby sure enjoyed her birthday cupcake!
