Happy 1st birthday, Cora!

Wow how the time has flown. It's been a joyful year and we had a lot of fun reminiscing about a year ago today.... we all had a very long day at work/school today and look forward to a weekend of family time!

Cora's best friends await their morning fishes that she handed out

"kame" sugar cookies we made to share at school. (kame means turtle)

Look ma, no hands! Cora posing on fence outside house. Greg swears he was holding her in this picture...

I want to OPEN these boxes because I know they are filled with gifts!

it's like she's had one of these before... very daintily eating her cupcake (in whole...)

besides some frosting for mom's nose, of course...

ALMOST done...

sorry dad, I'm so over this...

ribbons are still her favorite!
