A polka dot birthday

I took the family out on Friday evening to take birthday pictures of Rose, but it was so bitterly cold and growing dark quickly that the below picture is the only one of about 20 that turned out. I'll have to try again soon.



Sadie~Rose got a chair of her very own from her grandparents and us as her gift.

She seemed quite tickled with it. :)


Olivia wanted to get in on the action.

I love her little toes on the ottoman.

On Saturday afternoon we had a small polka dot birthday party for Miss Rose.
It all went well, without a hitch.

We had a pink polka dot cake for all of us,


And Sadie~Rose had her own grain-free/sugar-free version to try.

She never seemed quite sure what to think and kept looking at us with a look that said, "Are you serious? How long am I actually going to get away with playing in my food before you take it away?"

She kept tasting it,

and we eventually got a smile out of her.
But I think her favorite part was just getting to smoosh it between her finger. :)


Ellis didn't quite know what to think of it either.

She had fun playing with friends and new toys.

And I even caught her blowing one of the noise makers! :)

It was a pretty fun day, full of fun and friends for our sweet little girl.
