It was a great day! We had no major issues. We even took Hadley's one year old photos this morning. Hadley was in a super mood. She doesn't want to be constrained at all... She wants to do what she wants. She was into opening presents but then she wasn't. She also didn't destroy her cake. She must have known how much work mommy put into it. The party started at 2pm and most everyone was gone by 5pm. I also made a slideshow of pictures to play in the background.

I am surprised I didn't cry when we sang Happy Birthday. I am still in shock that we have a one year old!
