I thought I would share a few pictures of Ginger on her 1st birthday. I know there are a lot of pictures today but I really did cut a bunch out. I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures of Ginger, starting one year ago today.
The boys LOVED Ginger and holding a baby.
Wyatt has loved to kiss Ginger from the day we brought her home.
And Daddy, of course, loves Ginger.
This was Ginger's first Sunday dress.
Her blessing Day in California.
This was just before Ginger started rolling over. Devin took this picture.
Here's a swimming day last summer with Ginger.
Two older brothers who love her very much.
I like to play dress up a little too much sometimes. Ginger prefers chewing on hats to wearing them.
This is a face we see a lot.
Snowball Ginger. Isn't she adorable in this little sweater that Grandma Beth and Grandpa Jack gave her? This picture was taken at Thanksgiving on the long trip home from Phoenix.
A cute face.
Another happy face.
Ginger's favorite pasttime - taking all the books off the bookshelf.
The rest of the pictures were taken today. This is a picture of Ginger in one of her favorite spots, next to or on the dishwasher door. We compromised and I let her eat a bowl of raisins that I sat on the dishwasher.
It was warm outside so we decided to play in the yard. The boys were having races on their bikes down the driveway.
She really loves being outside. Just 2 days ago she finally started figuring out how to walk on grass and cement. She used to get scared and sit down or crawl around when we were outside. Now she just walks back and forth in the grass and up and down the driveway. She never seems to get tired of it.
This is just before we opened presents. You can see all of her teeth in this picture.
She got some shoes from Mom, Dad, Shane, and Wyatt. We're missing one of her other shoes. It's driving me crazy. When we go somewhere she has to wear her pink boots. They're adorable but sometimes hard to walk in.
And she got more boots.
An adorable tutu from Aunt Leah.
Every little cowgirl needs a good pair of jeans!
And a cute shirt to go with them. Thanks Aunt Anna and Grandma Gail! Thanks also for the cute dress in the picture below!
The last thing we gave Ginger was a bean bag chair. She loves to sit on things. She is happiest sitting on the couch or a little chair.
Here's all the kiddos with Ginger's birthday presents.
Ballerina Ginger.
Daddy and Ginger playing with the bean bag chair.
Cute Ginger.
Okay folks, drumroll please. I finally figured out how to embed a video in my blog, took long enough, eh? This video was too big for Blogger so I had to upload to YouTube. But not to worry we still got it in here. This is just a dumb little clip of us playing outside today. I thought you might enjoy it though.
We had a great day. We postponed cupcakes until Monday because Mike worked every day this week. There just hasn't been much time when he's home. Also to come are a couple more presents from Grandma Brenda and Great-Grandma Dawna. Thanks everyone for sending your love to Ginger on her 1st birthday.
