This post is late, but too precious not to share. I don’t usually share birthday parties. I’m not sure why. But I’ve been thinking that I want to change that…
On 2 November, Joséphine completed her first year. It has been a year full of joy and delight. She is an easy baby, always smiling. We are blessed.
Jo’s birthday celebration was postponed because there was a rogue October snowstorm that knocked out power for days. Maybe you heard about that? So as soon as the power came back on and we caught up with all of the cleaning and re-stocking, we baked a {chocolate triple-layer} cake and hung a pastel rainbow of crinkly crepe paper around the table to celebrate.
She couldn't wait to get a taste...
Yummy
She'd have been content with a bag full of rustly tissue paper.
See?
"Wait, is there something else in here?"
"Hey, I think there's something else in here!"
"Oh boy..."
"Shoes!"
"There are two of them!"
"I LOVE shoes!"
That's my girl.
Lots more in the bag - outfits and jammies. ... and one more thing.
"Oh no, not a hat. I hate hats." She handled the disappointment with grace. Until...
We made her try it on.
But over all, I think she enjoyed her first birthday. I'm sure she'll be looking forward to the next one.

It’s always so amazing to see the 1 year old’s reaction to their birthday party! Josephine is a doll! I love how she is so amazed by 2 shoes.
Our Sandy turned 1 this week and did not like her cake. She did love her Grampa playing with her and her new presents.
Delighted to meet joyful Joséphine. Bright and happy appear to be two layers of her halo. May her virtues multiply with her years.
That God continue to bless and guide your family is my prayer for all. WGO’B
