Gabrielle's 1st Birthday

This is Gabrielle when she was a month old. Gabrielle's mom passed away while giving birth to her. I used to work with Phil at the High School and we've kept in touch. Through out the year we have visited Phil and baby Gabrielle. We have some wonderful memories visiting with them.
Her theme for the party was Farm. It was the cutest party. Wish I took more decorations but it was so fun.
This is sweet Gabrielle.
This is what each child got to take home, a horse.

Daddy and Carter chillin.
There were free hay rides :)
This is Grandma Alice. Jocelynn really thinks this is her real grandma. Grandma Alice is so kind and sweet. When we would visit Phil and Gabrielle Grandma Alice was always there and would take Jocelynn for walks, make her lunch and play with her.
Gabrielle enjoyed the cake.
This backyard was amazing. They built a pirate ship in their backyard. The kids loved this.
