Well, Ali's first birthday has already come and gone. Luckily, we still have her playgroup birthday party to look forward to this Thursday to celebrate one last time! Ali's actual birthday was so much fun! We spent the day together - the two of us - and had lunch and dinner with her daddy to top it off! We started off the day by going to Imagine-It Children's Museum in Atlanta. Ali was still a little young for it, but it was so neat and I am glad we went!! They had a little section dedicated to two and under and since most of the kids there when we were there were on field trips - we had the whole 2 & under area to ourselves! Ali loved it and it was a neat experience for the two of us to share together. She was obsessed with this one wall below where she could play with the fish and make them move along the wall.
Her favorite part of it all was the mini-me piano that was just her size!! Luckily, I figured out how to make a short video on our camera to tape her banging away on the keys! (although, unfortunately, I can not figure out how to put it on here!!)

We had lunch with Daddy at Gabriel's and then, of course, had dinner at Ali's favorite restaurant, La Parilla for her birthday dinner - just the three of us. It was the perfect way to end a perfect day and Ali was in heaven doing her typical people watching! Her new favorite song is "Happy Birthday to you" and we sang it all day long! After dinner, we came home and had some cake that I made for her earlier that day!

Miss Ali knew that there was something special about this day and everyone at Gabriel's should be looking at her - the Princess of the room. She was in high spirits all day - she had to of known it was HER special day! :)
Yum....cake!! (although Ali was slightly more interested in the Pooh candle and tried to eat it too)
All done!

We are grateful to all of our family and friends for sharing this special time with us! We can not believe that our little girl is already a year old and what a year it has been! Thank you for all of your phone calls, thoughts, etc on her birthday, birthday party and this whole past week! I really can't believe she is ONE but am looking forward to many many more birthdays for our little girl!
