one candle on the cake

It’s hard to believe, a year ago today we welcomed Jolee into the world. She is one sweet, sweet baby. Jolee made today even more significant by really walking for the first time. She took her first steps about two weeks ago and has taken a few steps sporadically since, but this morning she twice strung about 10 consecutive steps together. Certainly a nice way to start her big day.

Birthday breakfast. I think it was a berry-yogurt mashup. A food covered face was the theme for the day…IMG_4963

trying out her new chair from Grandma and Grandpa…IMG_4965

A piece of art. With help from the book Pie in the Sky (I’m pretty sure Adrienne would recommend the book for any high-altitude chef), Adrienne made a magnificent carrot cake…IMG_4966

hat is in place. time to start the party…IMG_4976

now that’s what I call a party…IMG_5006

it took her awhile, but she eventually figured out the unwrapping thing…IMG_5023

then to the bath for some much needed cleanup. here’s Junie using a vegetable scrubber to help the cause…IMG_5032

and Jolee playing with a whisk and a potato scrubber. what great bath toys we have…IMG_5038

Jolee went off to bed, but June and Rover kept the party rolling into the wee hours…IMG_5042

We’re going to have another birthday party for Jolee next week with some family and friends, so there should be more party photos to follow.
