Goodbye Opa and Oma!

Thanks for all the fun!

Birthday Party!

Let the party begin!

First stop, the park.  What a nice morning!

Lucas shows the girls how it's done!

Grandma and Oma!

Jeff takes his turn on the swings!!!

Slightly overwhelmed with the 18 of us singing "Happy Birthday"!

That's all folks!  This first year's birthday celebrations have come to an end!

She's One!!!

Yes! Our little baby turned ONE this week! What a fun day to look back upon (of course you remember that by her actual birthday the whole deed was complete and Pure Joy fogs the memory of the actual event). We have lots to celebrate! We had a little party for her and celebrated with family. She also had her first cupcake and like every good baby ate all the frosting first and left much of the cupcake to crumble and drop to the floor! :) 

Happy First Birthday, CoCo! Love you!

 Uncle Brad gives unwrapping support!

note: she's showing you how old she is!

To a one year old, there's nothing quite like a big empty box... especially one with fun colors!

She's a shopper!

CoCo's latest activity is "shopping"! She loves to push around her little cart and load and unload items. It's all EXTREME FUN until the cart gets stuck in the corner and little babes aren't quite sure how to make everything go again!

Cherry Blossoms!

We had such a beautiful Sunday. After church we went to the University where the cherry blossoms are blooming. It was so nice walking through campus and we even stopped for a picnic and to play "ball"! It was a wonderful relaxing afternoon!

She was very excited about the husky and she kept making an "elephant sound" while pounding on the husky's belly. She is SO bright! :)
