Alexandra is One!

100_3261

This weekend we went up to Nebraska to celebrate Alexandra's first birthday.  I can't believe it's been a whole year since I wrote this post and this one.

I don't have a lot time tonight to write, but I didn't want to wait weeks until after her birthday to post this.  So....it's pretty much just going to be a picture post!

100_3230Victoria came out during the day with this Spanish Dictionary and said she was looking for Dora.  Not sure how she put that together!

100_3231It's fun to be one! (Read her shirt- I didn't make that up)

Victoria made Alexandra this card and picked her out a Jack-in-the-Box.  100_4070100_3243100_3250

After all the gifts were opened, it was time for cake!

It's always great to get to see family and I feel lucky to be able to be close enough to get to watch my nieces grow up.  It was also fun to get to see Kim & Justin's new house for the first time.  It's beautiful!
