First Birthday Review

Yesterday sweet Cordelia turned one. She also has a little cold so she was a bit needy, but she tried so hard to enjoy herself and I believe she did in spite of a couple of teary break downs. We had a small family party of root beer, cake and present opening. Here is a breakdown...

Cordelia (what's with that look) with her Grandma (who wore that same outfit on Cordelia's actual birthday).

The table is set.

A few gifts for the birthday girl.

Your guess is as good as mine. I don't know what's going on here.

The vegan birthday cake.

The cake experience was traumatic.

She went and grabbed her own gift and started opening while we were all eating cake. Apparently she grasped the concept.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for sharing this year with us!
