Joy. That's her middle name and she truly lives up to it! We can't believe she is a year old. All day long we reminded her it was her birthday. She must have known we were saying something special because she would give us a big cheesy grin and clap!
Here she is just a few minutes old--she was cuddly from the very beginning. We're grateful for her peaceful personality.

Like I said. Cheesy grin. Bath time, dad, brothers, peas, oranges, and anything new or interesting will solicit this contagious happiness....
Peaceful does not necessarily mean a lack of mischief!
Proud to be 1!
Tonight for FHE we made her a big cake. What a pleasure it was to finally mix a little bowl of pink frosting! We decided the big party will be tomorrow night. (Jason finally has a few days off for the holidays--starting tomorrow night!) We talked about our little baby girl and how important she is to our family. We talked about eternal families and how important EVERYONE is in our family. We talked about Heavenly Father's Plan and temples. Then, each big brother told Sarah what he liked about her--Jordan says she is just "way too cute." Tyler likes how she puts her head on his shoulder when he walks in the door from school. Carter likes how she "hugs all the soft things she can find in the house." Our closing songs were Families Can Be Together Forever, I Love to See the Temple, and Happy Birthday, Dear Sarah! We look forward to a birthday party tomorrow.Here's the boys meeting there little sister exactly one year ago! I hope they always show love to her and take good care of her.

I got your Christmas card today, and was just wondering if she had turned one yet. I loved the picture on your card. GOOD JOB! I think we might try that pose next year. Your daughter is darling, and bring on the pink!
Wow, 1 year old already. Times flies when it's not your child. I was very excited to see all that hair on Sunday!
Okay, Jon just called and asked if Sarah's birthday was today or yesterday...So even though we missed it, Happy birthday Sarah! We can't wait to see you again!
Happy Birthday Sarah! What a perfect middle name. Every picture I've seen she is so happy. How fun!

I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating. I'm sure the boys were excited too. We miss you. Give her a BIG grandma & grandpa hug. We love all you guys.
