Happy Birthday!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Sophie's First Birthday. Everything was beautiful - ven after it started bucketing with rain, forcing us into the world's least tidy kitchen for the remainder of the party. We had a lovely time and Sophie received wonderful gifts from people who love her - and was helped by her godsister Kay and older sis Catherine. She needed a little help blowing out the candle too. She still isn't quite sure what that's all about! However, Sophie enjoyed eating her bright pink strawberry cake - encouraged by her godmother Tina.

Above are photos of the buffet table before the rain began to fall, the cake, and the birthday girl with Kay - wearing the beautiful crocheted headband that Catherine made her.

We had a good laugh at the weather, ate heartily, and went back outside when the sun returned. Now all that's left is a pile of dishes and lots of lovely memories!
