Not only was it Thanksgiving for us all this year, but it was also Leighton's 1st birthday and Jon's 29th birthday!! What a big day...here is the story in pictures:

On display: Leighton's custom cakes by my friend Stacia!! So adorable!
Leighton's smash cake...just for her
My big girl is ready...
This was the extent of "cake fun" - not really into a mess

Nuzzle with Papa
"My necklace is better in my mouth"
Loves to swing
Cozying up to her new bear
Kisses from Grandma Lassak
Leighton loves Grandma Lassak!

A special kiss for a shared birthday!
The next day...off to the park
Obsessed with swings
