Malia's First Birthday

I am still in disbelief that our baby girl is ONE year old! It was just yesterday that we were sitting in the waiting room for two extra hours before it was our turn to have a C-section (trust me, that was a big deal...we were scheduled for a 1:00 pm delivery and I wasn't aloud to eat after midnight the night before--two hours seemed like an eternity and I'm pretty sure Joey will never see my grumpy hungry as bad as that again)!

Thank you to our friends and family who made Malia's birthday so special. She (we) are so blessed to be surrounded by so much love and support!

Birthday breakfast: bacon and happy face pancakes!

Opening presents...lily pad for the backyard!

New sippy cups!

Clothes!

Her first purse with a brush, comb, hair clips...

and sunglasses!

I can put them on, Mama!

Not so sure about this stuff....get it off my hands!

Hmm...not so bad...

More, please!

Time for clean-up!

Thank you, Chris, for taking such great pictures! We had a blast celebrating with Grandpa Kaleikini (we missed Christine, but she was busy celebrating Ben's high school graduation--yay, Ben!), Grandpa and Grandma Shafer, Aunt Katie, Chris, Jenn, Layla, Olivia (who is two days older than Malia), and their Grandma!
