SOPHIA'S 1st BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

On October 5th, we had Sophia's first birthday party! We couldn't have asked for a better day for her! She was spoiled rotten by her close family (grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins) and her friends - well boy friends (Liam & Jackson ;) and their families. She got lots of great gifts everything from toys, books and clothes.

As much as I try to make Sophia a girlie girl, there isn't a girlie girl bone in her body. It doesn't matter how many dresses, clips, skirts, ruffles etc I put her in, she's a tomboy at heart. One of her favorite toys she got for her birthday is a dump truck and little people car. From Gramma and Gramp she got twin babies, that came with a double stroller, double highchair and basinette. Anika asked if she could help put everything together so while Sophia napped, Anika and I got busy. Thinking Sophia would be excited and lovey dovey with her new babies, we were sadly mistaken... As soon as she came down from her nap, she walked right over to the stroller which held the precious little babies, and DUMPED it over and said 'ROAR'!!!!! Not quite the reaction we were looking for. Needless to say, the babies have been put away for the time being as she insists on stepping on them yelling ROAR whenever she sees them!! A few other favorites from her birthday are an animal puzzle and her new books - especially "I love you stinky face" from her Uncle Shaun, Auntie Shirley and her cousin Hailey ~ I think we read it 49x a day.. books are one of the only things that Sophia will sit still for!!

Here are a few pictures of her special day!
