She is so adorable and your family looks nice too. I love the picture where she is asleep on her daddy's shoulders. Did you make the cake it looked grand.

Can it be that Violet is a year old already? Oh my. Time flies, enjoy her every minute! She's a cutie for sure. :)
God is good....all the time.

Thank you all, so very much!
Some of you asked about the cake...it was made locally, by a really wonderful independent organic bakery called "Take the Cake". They made our wedding cake, Jus's 30th birthday cake, my 30th birthday cake and now Violet's 1st. We thought about it, but I remembered, as creative as we both are, we are NOT cake decorators!!!
Our very talented and beautiful friend, Julie made Violet's kimono. Since it was owl themed, I found the fabric on Etsy and she whipped up a "sample" and made the dress from there. It looks adorable on her!
We did make the banner, so thank you for the compliments. Next year we will add "Violet" but working full time cuts into my "creative" time (and my cleaning time and my being with Violet time :)) so I just managed to eke out the Happy Birthday!
@Mary Jane...Violet is such a trooper--she wasn't overwhelmed in the least. We had about 30 people there and 7 VERY active 4-10 year old's, and Violet just wanted to be a part of everything. The only time she rested was in the pic on her daddy's shoulders :) She just sort of "powered down" like a little robot. Not a tear she all day and she went fast asleep that night, believe me!
Frannie...I was so happy to finally get these "up" for you. Time flies around our house and it's all I can do to sit still for 2 seconds together :) I'm so glad you enjoyed them...she is our world, that's for sure!

jonni, jus and violet,
your pics made me and country just smile and laugh. sometimes i forget that we have never "really" met and are farmgirl sisters.
we think about yall and your sweet violet alot and love it when we get to see some pics of whats going on there. i hope if you ever come to texas you will come and stay at the farm.
we talk alot about coming to kentucky and going to miss wilma's gathering but i am still having some tune up work done and will have another surgery some time in the very near future. they promise me that when i have this repair done i will be fit as fiddle, i sure hope so. for the first time i am feeling a little bit tired of all this medical attention. i have to keep reminding myself that i am so lucky that i am not without insurance and wondering if i will get the services i need.
anyway, your pics were the best medicine in the world. 
love

What lovely pictures! Her owl kimono is great, the picture of the three of you and the one of Violet with her dad are just so sweet. And that is one good looking cake for one good looking girl. Thanks for letting us see the big event...

Thank you, Karin!!! I'm so happy to hear from you! My friend, Julie, did such an awesome job on that kimono, and it so suited Violet with her "hooting" that she still does, even after all these months. The Owl has become quite the theme for this little girl!
Jeannie...I know! A year, already? The old saying, "time flies when you're having fun!" is so very true. Every day with Violet is a gift.
