Last Sunday we celebrated Nora's first birthday. She is either teething or had a slight cold (perhaps both) and had a rough night the night before and wasn't feeling 100%. Nonetheless, surrounded by family and friends had a fantastic time opening presents and eating her cake.
The word got around that her favorite things right now are stuffed animals and dolls as she received some wonderful new playthings in addition to a book, a beautiful raincoat and a bike seat and helmet.
Here she is with some of her new toys and wearing her bike helmet. The green thing she's sitting in is her new bike seat which we took out for our first ride today (lots of fun!!). Henry was an amazing big brother and took his job as official present opener very seriously.
After presents it was time for cake!
A beautiful sparklely, pink and white cake made my Gigi in the shape of a number one. We'd been practicing blowing out candles, but when the time came all she wanted to do was grab them instead. Brett tried to help, but, as this picture showed, the flame was a little too close to her face and it just freaked her out!
The weather was absolutely beautiful, so we got to celebrate outside in the backyard. A fabulous day all around!
