My computer and/or internet is having a rough time, and I'm not having much success with uploading pictures. But one batch went through, so here's Xaris Sofia's birthday picnic, part one!
We just had a few friends and family for a picnic at the Arboretum. Stormy weather was in the forecast all week, but we had a lovely day--cloudy, but not wet, the sun came out briefly and we got a little toasty, but it didn't get too hot for most of the day! We ate picnic food, played with bubbles, pinwheels, paratroopers, and flying foam discs (until we got reprimanded that frisbees, balls, and the like are not allowed), X opened some gifts, enjoyed a ride in the wagon, tried a cupcake and gave big smiles and love to everyone who talked or played with her. Thank you everyone who celebrated our precious girl with us! I'll try to post more pictures soon. Facebook seems to be letting me upload, so that maybe the route I take.
Cupcake time!
Standing solita!

Learning about her new toy
Chomp, munch, slurp. Watermelon seemed to win her over more than the cupcake did. Is she really my daughter?
