Maya Jane turns one!

Maya's first birthday party! She is showing off the sunflower shoes her Uncle Yanni got her.

Maya had a little too much sugar by this point...you can see she is a little out of it. :) She does love cake though! She's more like her Aunt Emily in that way than her mommy.

I had fun making this monkey cake for Maya's birthday. She has a miniature monkey "smash cake" in the background that she devoured.

This was actually her first birthday cake--on her real birthday. The monkey cake was a few days later at her party. One day is really not enough when it comes to birthdays.


What a wonderful year! It went by SO quickly, but Joe and I have so many great memories. Maya is such a gift from God--words cannot express how precious she is to us.

Gotta love this girl.

Orlando

Daddy and a very hot and tired Maya watching the parade at the Magic Kingdom.

Grandpa held Maya almost the whole time at Uncle Micah's birthday dinner
in Orlando. He didn't mind a bit!

The Character Breakfast with Grandpa and Yia-Yia.
Maya liked the characters from a distance but was not crazy about them coming this close.

Maya got to meet her Aunt Rona and see her Uncle John again when we were in Orlando.

Daddy titled this picture "Peanut" :)
