The Hill Family

Can you believe it has already been a year? It has just flown by for us! We are so excited to celebrate our little girl's first birthday! We feel so grateful to have her in our lives and just love watching her grow and develop. Since we live so far away from family, we decided to have a small party with just the three of us.
