Autumn Fairy

For Halloween, my mom and I created an "Autumn Fairy" costume for Mariel. We had fun cutting organza and ribbons to sew on a ribbon to create a fun skirt!!

Here are a few pictures from New Sharon UMC Fall Festival yesterday evening:

Pappy went to watch her, and she found a random candy bag.
Guess who got candy?

I had to show how little she looks walking down the hall to play games.
Mariel was pooped before we got a picture taken with my mom.

Love to all,

My Party!

Here are a few of my friends who came to my party!!

I loved listening to everyone sing my Happy Birthday and then eating my cupcake!

For some reason, I got 2 cupcakes!!! YUMMY!!
My second one was really messy ... but that's okay, because I loved it!

Love to all,

I'm ONE!

I can't believe it has been a year. Mariel is more of a joy in our lives than I ever imagined. I thank the Lord everyday for her in our life. She is beautiful. She is a funny, little girl with lots of love to give to others.

She woke up to a yummy cinnamon roll, a Garner family tradition!

And then, in her "Birthday Princess" outfit, a hand-me-down from her cousin Avery (whose only 7 weeks older), she opened a few gifts, and she loved it!!

She loved Tickle Monster!! She even loved putting the gloves on and tickling us!
Thanks to our little friend Sami for the idea awhile back!!

Mariel wearing the tickle hands!
