Today is Elvie's first birthday, and we are celebrating the gift of who she is. We are lucky to have photos from the very beginning of her life, so I put together a little video of photos from her first year. I am so grateful for Elvie's little life and for the privilege of being her family, for the sunshine that she brings to us every single day.

We love you dearly, Elvie McBride. This year has been a tough one, but you are still smiling. We'd love you even if you weren't, but we are so glad there is joy in your heart. Happy Birthday, baby girl.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. She has changed so much in her first year. The only time she has a face is when she was eating real food. Love her smile and big brown eyes. She is an amazing little girl. I can't wait to see what the next year brings for her.
