Alexa's 1st Birthday and Family Reunion

First off, Alexa is now 1 year old!! How crazy is that?!  Time has gone by SO fast!  Last weekend Harrison, Alexa, and I went to Parma to visit my family.  The Thueson family had a reunion in Crouch, ID.  Harrison had to work on Friday and the reunion ended Saturday morning.  So, we just went straight to Parma and met everyone there later that day.  Almost the entire Weber extended family was there as well.  So, Saturday morning we visited with them.  It was so fun to see everyone!
Saturday afternoon we held a birthday party for Alexa at my parents home for all of the family that wanted to come.  We opened presents, ate ice cream, and visited.  She got WAY too spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa with a giant bear, a toy, and clothes! :)
That night, we went out for sushi to celebrate Harrison's birthday.  He had "All-You-Can-Eat" sushi and I had a teriyaki bowl.  Who, of us, do you think is the sushi lover??! ;)  The whole weekend was lots of fun and we had a great time!
Then, yesterday we held another birthday party at our house for Alexa on her actual birthday.  We invited the Black family up.  We had cake and ice cream, opened presents, and chatted while Alexa and Mac played with her toys.  I made her a monkey cake for her birthday.  It surprisingly turned out really cute!  Much better than I was expecting anyway! ;)
Harrison and Alexa went on their Daddy-Daughter date after work and picked out a birthday present for her.  They were so cute together!  Harrison said he took her to Walmart and they sat in the toy section while he let her play with every toy there until she picked the one she wanted.  She picked out a little toy that shoots out a ball.  He is so good and cute with her! She absolutely adores him!!
Grandma and Grandpa Black and the kids got her the cutest little piano toy that she can walk around with.  She played with it all morning today.  Uncle Morgan gave her a cute monkey bath towel that she used last night for bath time.
It was a very fun weekend and day!  We are so blessed to have this sweet little girl in our lives.  She brightens our days so much!  I thank my Heavenly Father every day for letting me have His sweet, precious daughter for this short life!!
