Juniper's 1st birthday bash!


I'm in Spokane for Juniper's 1st birthday, and her parents threw her a fun birthday bash. She's VERY social and really enjoyed all the activity and attention and was calm throughout. Here she is with one of her birthday dolls.

 

Pink bunnies topped the cupcakes, and Julia hung colorful paper chains all around the living room and dining room.

She even hung up her newborn and latest pajamas to compare sizes.


Juniper loves books and gravitates toward them over other toys. She halted the party so she could look at this new book while we all looked at her!






She got her own little cottage, but the cats think it's theirs. I managed to get in the house on all fours but could hardly get out. 



Here she is learning to be gentle with their three bunnies, who have their own heated porch at their new house.


And here she is with me on my first morning here with us both still in our PJs. I spend hours every morning sipping coffee while looking out the window at the snow in the cactus slippers that they gave me for Christmas. I have to leave in three more days and I'm already sad thinking about it.


Have a colorful day

Love it - especially the pajama comparison. And oh - how lovely that she gravitates towards books!

Hah, I bought those purple pajamas about 10 years ago when I needed some that were presentable for a quilt retreat. They're my "company" PJs.
