Gratitude Day 20

Today I am FILLED with Gratitude!Its been a very special day. Alyssa turned 1 year old today :0) and if that wasn’t awesome enough,my sister had me a new little nephew today!!!!! What a Blessed day!

This is  me, my mom and Alyssa the day she was born:

 What an amazing day that was. I was induced for the first time and BOY did that hurt!I remember just saying over and over again after I had her “Wow that hurt!” :0)

This is the first time Alyssa got to meet her Daddy.He was deployed in Iraq when she was born:

And now in what seems like no time Alyssa has become such a sweet,calm and adorable little person:

 

And lastly Alyssa surrounded by her brothers and sister.
