Piper Turns One

She celebrated her actual birthday with her other grandparents and cousins. Michele's family is not much into sharing holidays so Wyatt and Piper get TWO birthday parties a year.Our Princess "P" moved to Maryland just in time for us to celebrate her first birthday. Last minute plans were made and no one was available but with 5 cousins in the Dennison clan there was no shortage of fun. We got her a rocking chair like we have gotten all the other kids and my Nanny got for me which the kids still use.Jack wanted to get in that capsule so bad! We tried a couple of times to get some group shots but these kids were WOUND!Lily loves PiperJennifer aka Aunt Nenni made this little banner for her to use every year.
