The Birthday Party

We celebrated Mary-Claire's birthday a little late.  Hey, she's only 1.  What's a few days, right?  She loved the balloons!

She was mesmerized by the candles on the cake!

She kept saying "mmmmmm" every time she had a lick of frosting or a bite of cake!

She got some new toys (guess I better pack the old ones away for a while!)

And some new clothes

And when she looks back on the photos many years from now, I think she will be able to see that she was loved!

P.S.  As I write this, I am looking out my window at a big fat robin in the snow.  Yes, I said SNOW.  It's almost the end of April for God's sake.  Please let us have temps in the 60s soon.  Please.
