Beatrix's first birthday!

The birthday girl and her Grandma Nancy.

Two serious men: MXC and IFC.

Leonardo getting some fresh air.

Megan's sweet treats.

Bea can't get enough water lately. Big dramatic birthday swigs.

Bea is mesmerized by her Uncle TJ.

Well, well well...look who found Puddles and Mort. Or maybe it was the other way around?

As expected, Bea dug right into her cake. Banana cake with vanilla frosting. Not sure if you can tell, but she put a pretty impressive dent in it too.

Saturday we had some family over to celebrate Bea's first birthday. The weather was perfect, just as I remember it when Bea was born. The kids had a great time and I think the adults did too. I am still paying for the salt intake. As I am typing this, I am also contemplating a piece of birthday cake. Or maybe more of a slab of cake. Anyways, Bea had a great time seeing everyone, and wow, were all of our guests generous.
