Cora's 1st Birthday Party

I can't believe 12 months ago I was here......

















And today this happened.Cora turned 1 on the 6th and we celebrated by having a very informal get together for her at Gueber Park. We are so blessed to have such great people in our lives. I want to thank all of those who came out to celebrate with us. Here are a bunch of photos from the party. An especially HUGE THANK YOU to my dear friend Jodane who took most of these amazing photos, which allowed me to be in the moment throughout the whole party instead of worrying about capturing the moment. Jodane, I truly appreciate you not only for your talent in photography but because you an amazing friend that I know I can always count on to be there. Enjoy!
This photo is of Cora with the wonderful woman we named her after, Sneh. I will be forever grateful to Pradip & Sneh for how they looked after me and encouraged me to pursue my passion to become an RN.





Of course there was the 1st Birthday Cake. Cora really didn't know what to do with it. She sort of picked at the cake.




I gave her a spoon to see if she would dig into it a little bit more. She is really into using utensils right now, so the spoon did the trick.




Hey Mom, did you know there is SUGAR in this cake??????




Nom, Nom, Nom.....I love CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!




She was pretty pleased with herself when she was all done. She put a small dent in the cake and I didn't even have to take the hose to her to clean her up. It was a win win.








I love this photo of Breckin who is exactly 7 months older than Cora. He was the first person to visit Cora in the hospital. They are so funny together. Isn't Breckin's expression great?












Cora is happy & she knows it so she is clapping her hands








A very proud daddy and his little girl

Cora's Auntie Anna wasn't able to make it to the party, and poor Cora was sad. She was sad until the Fed Ex man showed up at the house and delivered this.........








Cora enjoying her new kitchen, thank you Auntie




I always wanted one of these cars when I was a kid. I remember going into different stores and pushing this type of car around and BEGGING my parents for one. I never got one and I always swore that if I ever had children I would buy them one of these whether they liked it or not. So guess what Cora got for her 1st birthday?




She loves it too. She climbs in and out of it for minutes on end. She loves being pushed around inside or outside and honking the horn. Poor Cassius doesn't know what to think of it though.

Those pictures are GREAT! I wish that we could have made it to the party! It's so hard to believe that Cora is already 1; it seems like just yesterday you had her. You guys are so lucky and Cora is lucky to have such great parents. :)
