Sophia's Big Day

It's hard to believe, but my sweet little Sophia just turned one.

We had a "Little Princess" theme and celebrated with just our immediate family. This is the pattern that was used on the balloons, napkins, and invitations.

My mom and dad, (a.k.a., "Moostie" and "Pappy") came over early to get a lesson from Sophia on the proper care and feeding of a Bitty Baby.

Isabella helped me set up for the party. (I think every one of these pink cups wound up on the floor at some point during this process).

Here is Sophia's "cupcake cake." It was half vanilla and half chocolate with butter cream frosting. What better to give a one-year-old for her very first taste of cake?

Isabella was only too happy to help "Sister" blow out her candles. She practiced for days; she considered it her personal gift to Sophia.

Here's Sophia helping herself to her first piece of cake. I must admit, she was extremely neat about it. She didn't get one bit on her outfit, and hardly any on her face.

My grandmother, Sophia's great-grandmother, fed her her very first ice cream. She actually liked it even better than the cake.

Phillip's mom and dad, otherwise known as "Grammy" and "Papaw" gave Sophia a Toddle Tune Car as one of her gifts. Obviously, Isabella loved it, too.

Here's our birthday girl enjoying her gift from "Uncle J" and "Aunt Nanner." She loves this!

This is short video of Sophia enjoying her birthday balloons with her Pappy. The camera angle is just awful, but the squeals of happiness are all that matter. This may have been the highlight of her day.

We had such a wonderful day. I am so proud of my little girl.
