Happy Birthday Ashley Bear!

So this post is 4 days late but as most of you know, Ashley Bear turned 1 year old this past week. Unbelievable how fast time has flown.

We invited a few friends and some family came into town last weekend to celebrate her birthday. Kelly slaved away in the kitchen baking cakes and cupcakes and they turned out surprisingly great. However, Miss Ashley never got to experience the taste.

We all had visions of how the first birthday party is supposed to take place. You get a small cake, put a candle on it and the baby digs in. Well, not for Ashley. She was so excited to see the cake and hear everyone singing. After we blew out the candle, she just sat there staring at it. Not sure of what to do, we stuck her finger in it and all hell broke loose. You would have thought we stuck her finger in a cup of boiling water.

Here are some pictures my mom took while in town.

Here are some of the pictures we took and are embedded below:



Here is a picture we took outside our apartment the day after her birthday:
