Carmen's Birthday Party

On Saturday we had Carmen's Birthday Party with our immediate family.  

We had a lot of fun and Carmen did too.  She was SO spoiled (THANK YOU EVERYONE For all the gifts), but she is loving each and every new toy.

She wasn't so sure about her cake... and it's my fault it was in the fridge and a bit hard when we gave it to her, but she did at least try it.

We had a pinata for the kids and even had everyone play Pin the Tail on the Donkey! :-)

Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Girl!  
You are Loved by SO many people!!!

Carmen's First Gopher Game

On Friday the 2nd we took Carmen to her first Gopher Game.... I know it's a surprise but it wasn't a football game.

She was such a trooper and sat the whole time. She also clapped when anyone around us cheered. She had no idea what she was doing but knew enough to cheer.

She kept watching Goldy and he finally made his way near us.... Andy put her in his lap and she freaked out....

Carmen's Birthday

So I'm a bit behind on blogging... ;-)  Guess that's what happens with a 1 year old....

On Carmen's Birthday, Andy and I both took the day off to spend with her.   We started out letting her open a gift in the morning.

Then we went to the zoo.

We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch.... (they have some good Macaroni and Cheese there) and Mom and Dad like the wings too ;-)

 And let Carmen open a few more gifts at home.

Overall it was a fun day!   So nice that we were both able to take the day off work and spend it with Carmen!

Pink Eye

Two days before Carmen's birthday she woke up with her eye crusted shut.... I immediately knew that it was Pink Eye!  I took her into the doctor and she had pink eye and cellulitis (an infection around the eye).

10 days of antibiotics and it's all cleared up.  But not a fun first few days of Carmen waking up with one of her eyes crusted shut :-(

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY CARMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One year ago today, Andy and I welcomed into the world our beautiful daughter Carmen!   It's so hard to believe that a year has already gone by. She has changed our lives in more ways than we could have ever imagined!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY CARMEN! 

 

Mommy and Daddy Love you VERY MUCH!!!!

Carmen's First Snow

So this past weekend was the first time Carmen has seen snow.  Yes, there was plenty last year but she was way too little to take outside.

We were lucky enough to get several sets of hand me down snowsuits and boots, however they are all a bit big on her yet.   She wasn't too excited in being outside since she could barely move.

Our Little Cheerleader

Carmen wore this last weekend during the Gopher Game.... too bad it didn't help them win ;-)
