Birthday Celebration(s)!

**Warning!! This post has birthday picture overload!!**

This lucky little girl of ours got to have not one, not two, but THREE birthday celebrations. Partly because our condo isn't big enough to hold everyone at the same time (comfortably--I'm sure we could all squeeze in, but it's not the most pleasant thought) and partly because Aurora has a cousin who celebrates her birthday just 4 days before!

Celebration #1 - 1.8.12
Up north with my family to celebrate Koda's 2nd birthday, and Aurora's 1st birthday

Aurora with her cousins Dakoda and Hannah

Gifts:
Cute shirt from Perkins cousins

"Touch and Feel" texture books, also from Perkins

Leap Frog Fridge Phonics from Nanny & Gramps

(This picture is for Nanny & Gramps to show that she loves their gift already!)

1st birthday candle!
(Don't mind our serious baby. Haha.)

This 1 year old wasn't shy at all with smashing and eating her cake!

She was so proud of her cake demolition work :)

Bri showing Koda it's "cool" to wear the tu-tu we gave her for her birthday

Koda showing off her new tu-tu once she decided it was okay to wear it

Poor, tired princess.

Happy Birthday, baby girl! We are all so blessed to have you in our lives to make us smile and brighten our days. What an incredible first year it has been! We love you!!
