First Celebration of Monkey's First Birthday

11 months and 3 weeks ago, I couldn't think this far into the future.  I couldn't feel this joy.  I wouldn't let myself dream even this far into the future.  My eyes are now open.  I'm so glad.  I couldn't/wouldn't miss this little girl's first birthday for anything in the world!  I'm sure I will dig deeper into that day almost a year ago later in the week as her birthday approaches but for now, I enjoyed this early celebration of her 1st birthday!

 Well Monkey celebrated her birthday this weekend with my husband's family (celebration #1 out of 3).

We wondered how she would act with her birthday cake.  I'll let you be the judge of that!























This is hard work!
