Birthday Buddies

Sofia Matilda Rowe turned one!!! We start celebrating birthday's first thing in the morning around here.  This is a birthday cake cinnamon roll.  Since we were celebrating two birthdays, we had to go all out!

 Here's the birthday girl enjoying a birthday gift she'd received early. 

 Can't believe this little cutie is one! What can I tell ya about this little Aussie of ours?  Sofie is such a joy to have in our family.  I really couldn't imagine our family without this cheeky little thing!  Sofie has us all wrapped around her little finger, the girls, Will and even Cory!  We're all completely smitten with our little Sof.  She loves animals and loves to make the sound of an elephant.  She loves her siblings and likes to be just like the big kids.  Sofia may be tiny but she is definitely full of spunk and personality.  She is always smiling and rarely has a bad day!  If there was ever a baby to make you want more babies this is the one!  (So fingers crossed it works!  LOL). She is always willing to give away kisses and is very sensitive to others emotions.  If any of the other kids are sad she will be sad too.  Sofia teaches me what it means to mourn with those who mourn.  We love her very much!

 It snowed strangely enough on Cory and Sofia's birthday!  Sofie was just admiring the white stuff. 

 Sizing up her quite sizeable stack for pressies. 

 And defending what's hers!

 These four!  Eyes every where! 

 And here are the birthday buddies!  Sofia turning one and dad turning old!  Just kidding, only 32, not old!

 Oooooh!

 Let the assembly begin!  Man, this took a long time!

 Here are the cakes for the birthday girl and boy. 

 Finally drivable!

 Super excited about her cake!

 Not too interested in eating the cake. 

 After the festivities, Cory and I went out to an old favorite, Café Rio.  I sure love this birthday boy!  He is a great husband, and dad and provider and friend.  Cory is the best decision I ever made!  I love him!  Happy birthday, Cory and Sofie!
