Turning One

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Saturday !!!

Guess who turned one today ? Our sweet adorable Cade.  I think he knew it was his day because he entertained us all with his squirky smile and the funniest laugh.  He enjoyed his first no egg and gluten free CAKE. He got to ride his brand new bike and had the the most fun flipping his Elmo  phone.
I used the MDS Happy Bday to make the page. Hope you like it.
