Belle turned one on Friday! We can't believe how fast this past year has gone. She is the sweetest thing to us! We had a nice little party with the three of us to celebrate. (My parents joined on videochat for presents and the eating of the cake!) Here is our birthday girl!

Belle with all her birthday presents: clothes, toys, balls, hair accessories, etc. Thank you everyone for being so kind!
She started out a little hesitant...
And then she surprised me and loved to stuff the cake in her face!
All done.
