It's my party and I'll cry if I want too.

And cry....

Good thing we had a small battallion of helpers open her gifts for her.

Not to make it seem like I have a crush on Ruth and Sarah, but I liked the energy of this picture and I think it captured the spirit of the party well.

We awoke the next morning to find that it had snowed. Winter has begun.

I finally learned how to do macro's on my camera. Here is profile of Morella. I think she looks a little like my Mom in this photo. I think mostly by her eyes and expression.

She is looking very grown up, isn't she? I think her baby days are numbered.

Taking tissues out of the box is fun...look there are more! If it meant she wasn't crying, then I pretty much have let her get away with murder these past few weeks.

Our young neice, Moslee -- man she is a cutie pie.

Morella climbed the stairs all the way to the top! She later put her new found talent to work climbing boxes in the living room. Oops.

Morella wearing her birthday cloak and bonnet. She loves the bonnet and doesn't try to take it off! Plus, she looks so freaking adorable in the outfit. We have had her wear it out in public a few times now.
