Beatrix's First Birthday!

Beatrix is one year old! We had our small family celebration on her birthday.
She loved her special birthday dinner: yogurt parfaits with fruit and granola; popcorn and veggie chips on the side.


And there were cupcakes. As you can see from the picture, she went straight for the candy. Her sisters were in charge of decorating with the m&ms and were quite generous.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
And there were presents: something to start her library by Miss Beatrix Potter.
And her very own cozy truck!

That smile totally  made up for the two hours of sweat and tears Daddy put into building the truck. Never foolishly ask: how many pieces can a plastic truck possibly come in?

And the best part about the truck. It is the envy of her big sisters. She wasn't too happy about sharing at first, but since Ella gives her rides around the house in it, she's decided they can occasionally drive.
