Look Who's 1

Yes, it seems like yesterday, but was really a short year ago that we were announcing the arrival of our first granddaughterIMG_0950.JPG. Those 12 months have gone by quickly and we have been fortunate to spend several visits she and grandson during the past year, including our recent May family wedding get-together.

We first met her at 2 weeks old and became besotted with her just as we had been upon the birth of her brother 5-1/2 years earlier.

We were there to help celebrate with pizza and Grandpa came up with the "perfect" cake. Can you guess what he had in mind?

Cinnamon buns was his choice — these were from Ikea as there was no Cinnabon on our way here. While not the same, these were still delicious as you can see below.

Then, what birthday would be complete without some new (and noisy) toys from grandpa and grandma?

Happy 1st Birthday !

She's adorable! What fun to celebrate her birthday with her. I like the idea of a cinnamon roll for her "cake." That was the perfect size for her. Very sweet pictures, Beatrice.

I would sing but it would crash the computer and I dont think with the cable being out for almost 2 days, I want that to happen so I will just wish the precious one a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

May the lord bless her with many happy days on this earth.

SHE IS growing so fast!.

She's such a cutie. It looks like that cinnamon roll was a big hit! Babies always like things with lots of sugar.
