It is such a joy to celebrate birthdays and especially the very first birthday of a little person.
Miss Bee turned one this week (January tenth) and of course we had to celebrate with smash cakes, goodies and a visit from our friend Jodi for professional pictures. (Will try to share a few, but unfortunately we still need to leave no Internet footprint for the safety of Miss Bee.)

We invited our family and friends over to join in the celebration and watch as Miss Bee enjoyed her first tasting of something super sweet; frosting.
One tradition that will now become a yearly part of this one's birthday celebrations is Baylee's Chocolate Mousse. Yep, her namesake will take shape into yummy adult only treats given to all those who suffer through boring birthday parties where the kids will never remember details besides through pictures. Thanks Pinterest for the recipe.
But, to be serious for a moment, celebrating this life is a real joy for us. It's almost a year that we've been caring for Miss Bee and so much life, relationship and attachment has happened in those 365 days. Thank you to all our family and friends for loving Miss Bee and being willing to open your heart to her big, blue-eyed smiles and sweetness factor.
