Playing before her big "1" year old party. Alegra is really loving being able to stand at the kitchen, stand at the lego table, stand at the table the barn is on.....she is really proud of herself and we are proud of her too! 
We had a small birthday party for Alegra tonight. Her actual birthday is tomorrow, but we thought we would celebrate it tonight! We had our neighbors Tom and Shelly over, Grammy, and Uncle Russ over (the rest of the Russ' gang is up in Park City with Ali's family for Thanksgiving). It was small but very nice. As you saw from the previous post the boys helped me make butterfly cakes. It is a snowy, wintery day out so I fixed a potato cheese soup in bread bowls and shawn cut up some veggies. Alegra was such a good girl for her birthday. She ate well, she socialized, she smiled for the camera sometimes, she showed how she can do peek-a-boo, patty cake, and so big to everyone, she liked opening gifts (except Cruz did most of the opening), and she really liked her cake. She kept wanting to touch the candle and we tried to teach her to blow but finally we let Cruz blow her candle out. Cruz was very excited to have people over and clamored for some of the attention too!
The birthday set up!
Look at those lovely butterflies. Can you tell which one Cruz decorated and which one Shawn decorated? 
Big Girl!
"So Big!"
Opening Gifts. I don't know who was more excited, Alegra or Cruz? 
Alegras very own chair. My parents gave Cruz his chair just like that (except denim material) when Cruz turned one. I thought it would be fitting if my mom gave Alegra her's when she turned one as well. Luckily my mom agreed. The funny thing is, just the other day Cruz told Shawn and I that Alegra needed to get her own chair because he was tired of sharing! Good timing I guess!
So Happy!
Yummy!
I love this picture! Right when everyone was about to leave Shawn decided to take a couple of pictures of Alegra and me. When Shawn said, "say cheese", Alegra totally started smiling!
