Well, let me first say that I cried a lot the night before Claire turned one. She nursed like a champ and started to fall asleep on my chest and then I realized what this meant, this would be the last time I nursed her in our first year. I asked Ryan to not use a flash and get a shot of Claire rest on my chest instead the flash went off and Claire went into full cheese mode haha. I love it, I will cherish this picture forever.
This first year was trying, there were ups and down but it was the most beautiful year of our lives, we experienced so many things together. Team Z made it! We did it - I am so proud of us and our little loving family.

Claire's party was such a blast and I have so so many people to thank for all of their help, first we have to say thank you to Dave, the pool and rec room was so perfect! We are thankful that you reserved that for us because it fit all of our family and friends plus we had a pool, bbq and all those fun games. Thank you for everything!!
My mom made her famous cucumber and tomato salad, cheese/sausage plus crackers AND homemade chocolate spoons, it was delicious and adorable what more could you ask for!
Todd & Dana whipped up the worlds best guac and salsa and even made me my own special garlic free version, so yummy - thank you!
Elaine stepped up with the tastiest and cutest little smash cake and cupcakes for the party, it was so generous and last minute the party would not have been the same without them, thank you!!

Before I get to the picture overload I also need to thank the rest of our family for all of their help with setup and just for coming to celebrate our little love. I had a sister fly out from Hawaii, another sister fly out from Washington and a sister in law came from Kansas! We are so blessed to have such great family and we love them all so much!
We are also so thankful to all our friends who came out to party with us, we hope you had a great time and we want to get together again soon!!

I do not have the words to express how I am feeling about having a one year old, just now that she is amazing us day to day and we love her and appreciate how much you all show up for us and we only hope we can do the same for you
