Last night Casey and I stayed up late and reminisced about the day Carly was born. I got emotional thinking about how much joy this little girl has brought into our lives. I love her so much! She has the cutest personality already. I feel like the luckiest person in the world to get to spend everyday with Carly. I honestly can’t believe how fast this past year has flown by. Last year at this time we finally got to meet Carly.
It was so fun to have a day to celebrate Carly. I could tell she knew something was different about today. She woke up and couldn’t stop pointing at this banner that I made for her.
She saw her presents and after some coaxing from Casey and me she finally opened them.
Then tonight we had some friends over to celebrate. I made a cake for Carly that was rainbow inside. She didn’t know what to do with the cake and with all the people staring at her!
After a few seconds she went crazy eating chunks of cake. She loved it! She still doesn’t have ANY teeth but she sure could get that cake down fast.
It was awful to clean up but I’m glad she had fun eating it! I made a bigger cake for the adults that was also rainbow inside.
Thanks everyone for making it such a special day for Carly! Also, I am so grateful to our amazing friends who have been like our family while we’ve been living here in Milwaukee. I honestly get teary-eyed thinking about how much I love and appreciate our friends here. They have been like Carly’s aunts and uncles this past year and they have taken such good care of us. We love you guys!

Happy birthday Carly! I can't believe it's been a year already.
What a fun birthday. Love the cake, how did you make it?
Hey this Gregy! Happy Birthday Carly! That's a fine looking cake Lindz! We won't be in Utah for Christmas, but we will be for thanksgiving. Tell Case hello!
I love the cake! You are good at everything you do Lindsey! I hope that Carly had a great day. She is such a cutie. We sure miss you guys.
Polly, I made the cake by dividing the cake batter up, then I dyed it with Wilton food gel and then I just layered the batter colors on top of each other in the round pans. It was really easy.
You are the perfect birthday host! The "Happy Birthday Carly" message is so cute. You made that? I can just imagine you laughing while cutting the birthday cake and while opening presents and then I wish that Ashton and Rachel and Meg and I could be there, too! You're such a great person, Linds!
Oops, it's Rachel, not Todd.
