Over The River And Through The Woods.......

To Nana and Papa's house Miss Margaret came!!


Miss Margaret traveled from Atlanta to celebrate her first birthday at Nana and Papa's house.

And all of her Aunts were here too!! Add two boyfriends to the mix and the Xavier Ct. house was full to the brim!

We planned a birthday party and invited all of our family friends!


A collage of pictures from Margaret's first year was put together...not that she's a princess or anything....

but......

since she lives on the East Coast and our friends live on the West Coast, we wanted to share how she has changed throughout the year.



Metal vases filled with spider Mums, Sunflowers and Pinwheels were on the tables in the yard and the buffet table!

We spent a great day at the beach, Margaret loved the ocean! One of our favorite beaches to go to is Capitola.....30 minutes away, door to parked on the beach with beach chairs, waiting for the sun to break through the clouds!

 We meet up with sisters who grew up with my girls and their three boys....These girls and their kids are very special to the McKinley's... their mom is my best friend who suffers from Alzheimer's and cannot interact with them any more.



Nothing like a week with a one year old to brighten your spirits!!


Happy Birthday Miss Margaret! Papa and I love you to the moon and back!!

    That grin! How can you possibly resist it? I can't believe she's a year already! She is stinkin' adorable! We just spent a week at the beach and I've come back rested and rejuvenated – and this helps a bit - with cooler temps at home. Yeah! I really need to paint some furniture! Great garage sale finds too. That paper doll wedding book is too cute. Now I'll be on the lookout for one for you with the missing dolls. :)
