HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LITTLE MISS STELLA!

Stella's birthday was a lot of fun. I have to admit, though, that the whole day, I was a little weepy...I don't know if that is something that is going to happen to me every time she has a birthday or if it's just because it was her first one! I just could not believe all day that it had been one year since her birth. It seems like no time at all has gone by - and on the other hand, it sort-of seems like we've known her and loved her forever!

The day of her actual birthday, Cameron and I took her out to have waffles at our favorite little breakfast place. She loves waffles. Then we met her cousins for lunch and just had a relaxing day. Her actual party was the next day, Saturday, which was a Luau party (sort-of a Hawaiian theme since it was a pool party!). We had Hawaiian food, lots of fruit, hawaiian punch, popcicles, pink and green hawaiian / flower decorations and I made her cake with Hawaiian flowers all over it (above! Sorry - for some reason, on my new computer I have no control over which pictures end up where on the page. They just go where they want and I can't move them!).

She got lots of cute little gifts and all her cousins and a few little friends came to the party.

It was a great day!
