Birthdays Around!

October 30 was not only Nora's 1st birthday but it was her daddy's birthday as well. One year ago the Lord gave Paul the amazing gift of a daughter and also the gift of his birthday forever placed in the background. I still tried to honor Paul in little ways but he is pretty content with very little hoopla and fanfare for his birthday.

Nora, on the other hand, will have to accept that her mama loves birthdays and to expect lots of surprises and festivities when her special day comes around.

Here are some pictures of Nora's 1st special day.

Waking up and getting sung Happy Birthday to by Mommy & Daddy!

She got a very fun airplane from Ms. Bethany (in the background)
which is helping her learn how to walk.

Party time! PTL for good weather!

She loved her first cupcake! She liked the cake part better than the frosting...who would have thought it!

Playing with her special toy with her special friend!

Opening presents!

Overwhelmed by all the lovely gifts!

Thank you everyone for your abundant generosity!
Nora's 1st birthday was a success and a great benchmark for many more birthdays to come.
