Camille's Snow Princess Birthday Party

On January 5th, we celebrated Camille turning one with a big "snow princess" birthday party at the Fountain Inn Center for Performing Arts. It was a nice space that served us well, and we were so happy to have so many good friends and family there. I am sure Camille felt quite loved as she partied it up!

First, some pictures of the decor. It was pink and silver with lots of snowflakes and tulle!

About half way through the party we sang "Happy Birthday" and then she enjoyed her smash cake. She seemed to love it!









She told us when she was all done!

So did Camille!





It was a great party!

A Holiday Visit with Nana and Papa

We had a great visit with Nana and Papa and did all sorts of things. The morning after they arrived we went to church and Camille wore a new dress from Grammy Nanacy



We also got a few pictures with Mama after church





That afternoon Nana, Mama, and Grady headed to the bike shop to pick out his new big kid bike! We picked one that didn't even have training wheels, and Grady felt up for the challenge! He rode back to the car with Nana...





Proud owner of a new bike!




With his beloved Nana. After Mama, this lady may be his biggest fan!




He took it right out when we got home! I am happy to say, he is already riding it by himself!



The next day we went to the zoo

Mama, with all 3 kids!






Anson picked some camellia flowers for Camille :)











Camille even liked the goats!



She actually fed them!



She is so darn sweet!



The boys loved the loud monkeys






One of the giraffes at our zoo just had a baby!





Grady went for a run with Papa one day







One day, after Grady had returned to school, Mama and Nana brought the little kids to the mall play place




Anson did not want to leave this space ship




Camille was very social while we were there



Camille was the only one allowed into the ship



We also rode the mall train, which Anson loved!



Camille spent lots of nice time with Papa during the visit. She seems to love him






Anson helped Nana make cookies for Camille's party















Here is Cami, playing with some of her new toys






The day of her party she opened a few gifts from Nana and Papa








That afternoon Camille had a fabulous first birthday party! Pictures to come...
