How can this sweet girl be ONE already?!? This first year has flown by! I have to say I have spent more time enjoying her than I did Greer. It is a big regret I have from when Greer was little, but we were always so worried about him from being so sick when he was born. I have loved every moment with this baby girl and have cherished every moment of her with her baby brother as well! It is sweeter than I ever could have imagined. When I think of Mary Harper, these words come to mind....
sweet, fragile, happy, delightful, dainty, dramatic, determined, adventurous.
She truly has been sugar and spice and everything nice! I had so much fun planning and decorating for her party. We did an early Saturday morning brunch. The menu included mini quiches, mini donuts(chocolate and powder), baby yogurt, Chick-fil-A chicken minis, mini cinnamon rolls, fruit, Paw Paw's cheese grits, mini muffins(birthday cake flavor and blueberry), and strawberry cake with buttercream icing. It was a sweet morning with sweet friends!
