Norah turned one year old last Wednesday (the 5th). Mark's parents and brother came all the way out from California for some birthday festivities. We had family and a few close friends out for a birthday party yesterday.If I say so myself, the party was a smash hit! As our friend Mark put it, "This is the best one-year birthday party I've ever been to." Never mind the fact that his daughter is only seven months old and he's probably never been to a one year party before. It was still awesome. See for yourself!
My parents got this dress for her on their recent trip to Kauai. I decided to save it especially for her birthday. The flower headband was a Christmas gift from our friendsKevin & Rechelle. She usually pulls it right off but since Grandma put it on her instead of me, she wore it all day!
Her straps were a little long so I took the special birthday pin that her grandma gave her (It says, "I'm 1 years old today"!) and used it to pin her straps together.
Her birthday cake experience went from, "Humm, this feels funny." To, "Hey, this is pretty good." To, "Oh my gosh! This is AMAZING!!" She had tons of fun destroying the cake. Then we threw her in the tub so that she could enjoy the rest of her birthday. By "the rest of her birthday" I, of course mean... presents!
As most kids do, she enjoyed the paper and ribbons just as much as the presents. Still, she DID enjoy playing with the presents once they were unwrapped.
Playing with the doggy blanket from Grandma and Grandpa.
Talking on her new cell phone. Thanks Uncle Frank and Aunt Tina!!
Playing with her new ball toys from the Hendersons and the Russells.
One last good family picture and then....
Our tired little girl was cooked!

It was super fun (and I HAVE been to a lot of 1 year old birthday parties)! Y'all did a great job!
Happy Birthday Norah! You are such a sweet blessing. What a fun party - you will look back on this someday and realize just how adored you are.
