Happy Birthday Athena Bee!!!!




Yia Yia made her a collage.








Enjoying her 1st birthday cake!




Her 1st birthday cake before it was destroyed. Auntie Jill made it!






Homemade wrapping paper... also from Auntie Jill.




Swimming with Mommy. Yep, that's a Bee swimsuit

complete with wings and a stinger.



Playing the carnival ducky game for prizes.




CUTE BIRTHDAY GIRL!




Today my darling daughter turns 1 year old. I can NOT believe how quickly this has gone by. I can still remember every second of her birth like it was only last week.



This little girl is the light of my life. She has awoken a new side of me. I'm kinder, more patient, and so much happier than I EVER thought I could be. I was always such a sullen girl on the inside. I questioned everything, mainly God's plan for me. I had so many doubts and was so lost, just drifting along... then came Athena. I give her credit for everything that is good about me. I was born to take care of this little girl.


So today I say Happy Birthday Ms. Bee, and thank you God for giving me this amazing gift.
