Bon Anniversaire, Ma Belle!

So we spent Belle's birthday driving back from Canada. 12 hours strapped into a booster seat. Happy Birthday! But, we partied like it was 1999 on Friday, and as you can see, she seemed to do just fine for the most part on her big day.

How we love this little munchkin! Some of the Belle Highlights of this year -- 1st Grade! Full day school, school lunch. It's all very exciting

-- New House, New School, New Ward, New Friends (that one took about 30 seconds)

-- Riding a Two Wheeler, all around the neighborhood, all the time!

-- Lost her First Tooth

-- First Sleepover

-- First Cupcakes all by herself! Pink and Purple, of course.



We just adore our little sweetheart. Her absolute favorite thing to do is help people. Brother, Sister, Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Cousins, Friends . . . she loves them all and loves to help them and feel grown up.

Happy Birthday, Belle!!
