One year with my angel girl



Mckinley Grace Alva turned ONE! We are so grateful to have you in our family! Just one short year ago, you were sent to us from heaven and our family has been so blessed ever since.


We can't believe how big you are now with our favorite 3 tooth grin, hair long enought to put in a bow, and babble that makes our hearts melt.

You had so much fun with your first cake and almost devoured the entire thing! You didn't even wait for us to sing to you!
You loved opening your new gifts and had fun playing with them with your siblings..


You went to your favorite McDonalds playplace with Mom and some buddies.


We love that you are learning new things every day! You have already learned how to make a big mess out of anything around you! Your favorite thing is to empty anything and everything, including a whole box of wipes!

You have learned to go up and down the stairs faster than any of our kids and its your favorite thing to go up and explore all the new rooms and then slide back down on your tummy!






You are learning to push things around the house and are going to be walking sooner than we hope!

You are always smiling and love to follow everyone in the family around the house to smile and get some attention



We miss you being so little, but are grateful to have enjoyed you for the last year and can't wait for more!




Love, Mom

Wow, can't believe how big she is. I hope the next year goes slow for us. I am not ready for my babies to grow up as fast as Mckinnley

Our family is always up for a great adventure and we are all kids at heart, so we wanted to share our adventures and moments with you! Enjoy!
