Happy Everything {Birthday, Heartiversary & Christmas}

Happy 1st Heartiversary to our precious Piper Noelle!! We made it girl!! WE.MADE.IT
 
It was exactly year ago today this blurry picture was taken!! We walked behind Mr. and Mrs. Anesthesia as they wheeled Piper to the OR for her big 'my heart is silly and needs to be fixed' surgery!! Side note: She cried the whole way from the NICU to surgery Level A!! Imagine that circus - tears, hysterical tears and then some more tears!! And then more tears!! Piper girl and I, we were made for each other!!

 
Praise God from whom all BLESSINGS flow!!  
The road has been bumpy, and not without its challenges - but when is parenthood peppermints and puppy paws? NEVER, my friends!! NEVER!!
 
We celebrated Master P's {FIRST BIRTHDAY} exactly a week ago!
We had quite the celebration...
And she quite enjoyed every moment...
 
Here is Piper that morning, excited about her celebration to come!
Let it be said, I was crafty before Pinterest...
but yes, this {1} picture idea did come from Pinterest!!  
 
 
 Piper was blessed with gifts in abundance and cards with messages that would make any mama cry!!
 
 
Piper is crying in cupcake picture nĂºmero uno because I accidentally snapped her with her party hat. #momfail But please remember she has been through so much worse!
She inhaled the cupcake (duhh!) 
And then I nervously bit my nails until bedtime pondering the idea that she might not sleep all night from the sugar overload!! Thankfully she slept like the heart princess she is!!
 
 
We are so thankful for a birthday, heartiversary and a Christmas that is setting up to look VERY different from last years!! No offense Helen!!
 
 
Letting the prayers rise for Piper, her many heart baby friends and some friends that aren't exactly heart "babies" anymore!! Hello Kasi, Noah and Luke!!
