More Birthday Fun



Sophia had a wonderful birthday celebration with her family. She enjoyed going to lunch and playing in the indoor play area at a local mall. Besides an older girl pestering Sophia and knocking her down, she had a good time. The fun really began in the evening when she was presented with her first birthday cake. As is the custom in our family, the child is allowed to damage the cake as they see fit. You can tell from the picture that Sophia was really into it.

The beautiful birthday banner was painted by Sophia's Aunt Angela. She's made all the kids their own personalized banner and it's a hit every year. This one shows a bowl of chocolate ice cream which symbolizes the treat I make for all my grandchildren's birthdays (with the exception of those who live too, too far away, but I did give them a freezer and the recipe). Isn't Sophia adorable in front of her beautiful birthday banner?

This weekend, more slumber party fun and a final salute to Sophia with pictures and details of her first ever birthday party.
