Happy 1st Birthday Rachel!

I am having a hard time believing a year has already past since we added little Rachel to our family! She has been an little under the weather lately so the morning of her birthday was a little rough. Then to top off the morning, she fell down our stairs. Not a good way to start a birthday, but she hung in for the party

Here she is in the hospital one year ago!

Her then...

Singing Happy Birthday...


Eating her very first Chocolate Cake...

Opening presents...

She had to fight off her sister and cousins to play with her new toys.


Who would give a one year old a Victoria Secret's bag???

.... Those "wet blanket" Brandts.... who invited them anyway?

Wow! I am glad Jerry showed up...Rachel was so cute! And she is still cute...I love the picture of her eating the chocolate cake. That is my favorite...you can spend the $10 you owe me on a present for Cha-cha.

Wow! She is so big! Give your kids a hug for me. They are both so grown-up!

Happy Birthday, I can't believe it's been that long already! What cute girls you have!! We seriously need to get together sometime so they can play together!

I believe it was you who invited us to the party! We had a great time! Thanks!

You don't have to be mad that Rachel wants to be a Brandt. It's at least moving up the ladder of coolness!!
