Our baby girl is officially 1 year old today! We celebrate our big girl and all she has learned in the last year.

And what would a first birthday be without a party? Grace celebrated a bit early on Sunday with all of her grandparents, great-grandparents, and more. With a cupcake theme and a giant cupcake cake, our little “cupcake” took the stage. It was a fun-filled day for the guest of honor, with lots of attention directed her way. She, of course, responded well to the attention by showing off her new walking skills, squealing over her birthday presents, and devouring a whole cupcake all by herself. When all was said and done, there was a wardrobe full of new clothes, enough pink and princess-themed items to make her dad cringe, a belly full of frosting, and one tired girl who was two hours late for her afternoon nap. To relive the party, be sure to check out more party photos in the gallery.

In honor of her actual birthday today, though, we have brought back a few of our favorite photos from a year in the life of Grace Evelyn. We are so proud of our little girl!
