The Smith Family: 1st Birthday!

Kendyl's first birthday was bittersweet for me. I mean on one hand it's a huge milestone and it's super exciting. On the other hand my baby is growing up. Either way she had a wonderful birthday with lots of friends and family around and she certainly did not mind all the attention :) This year has been incredible. She has brought so much to our lives and we are so thankful to be her parents. Matt and I look at each other all the time and say wow she is such a good baby. Being a parent certainly comes with it's fair share of hard days, but when she gives us slobbery kisses, waves goodnight or takes those first steps none of the hard days seem to matter. She is such a joy and a blessing and for all the people who told me it was all worth it when I was pregnant you were 100% right. Kendyl bear, we love you very much and thank God every day that you are in our lives. Happy birthday peanut! Now, on to the pictures. We are lucky enough to have a photographer in the family who was willing to take some pretty incredible pictures of Kendyl on her birthday for us. There were so many wonderful pictures to choose from. I tried to narrow them down, but there are still a ton!
