turning one
“‘And now,’ cried Max,
‘let the wild rumpus start!'”– Max
(Where the Wild Things Are)
As you all know, my little Robegon girl recently turned one! Here are a million (and one!) pictures from her big day!
Ro greeted her birthday morning (at 6 am) with a nice warm bottle of milk and a pile of pretty tissue-paper wrapped presents. . .
Ribbons are FUN – and so is the mousie sorting box!
Big sister helped get her through the sticky parts. . .
HOORAY FOR PUZZLES. . .
. . . and PANDAS!
Can’t have a birthday girl breakfast without cupcakes!
A few hours later, it was party time! Even though days of tornado watches, furious winds, driving rain, cold temperatures, and even power outages sought to get us down, party day dawned bright and beautiful – if a bit gusty! Thank God for that miracle!
All the food and goodies had to be moved inside to keep from blowing away, but luckily for us, my owly art center matched Ro’s owly party theme *almost* perfectly!
There was just enough room to park the birthday girl’s fluffy behind on the table while we all sang happy birthday!
Big sister enjoyed her cuppy cakes almost as much as her tiny counterpart!
Close up shot of one of the brown owly cuppy cakes on an invitation!
Munkey Joe got the best picture of the day!
THAT’S what I call a happy birthday baby!
One more cupcake for Ro!
Hmm. . . maybe that was one too many??!
Decorate!
How many cousins does it take to flip a hammock?

That looks like a fantastic party!!! 🙂 I love how the girls are wearing matching outfits, and the bottom soles of Ro’s shoes… and all the colorful wrapped presents. The Owls are cute!!!!

I love the pictures (as always)! Ro’s present from Audrey is sitting and waiting…for when we all have some free moments that are at the same time.

Everything was so cute, most of all Ro. Loved the owly theme and Ro’s cute little tutu.
And T looks quite grown up, as if she’d skipped years up to 10.
And I am sooo glad I don’t live close enough to have indulged in those sinfully-good-looking cupcakes.
Happy party to all.
