Happy Birthday Flora!

Today is Flora's first birthday!!!  Yesterday we had a party with lots of family, friends, food, and gifts!   Flora was taking a nap when all the guests arrived and was a little overwhelmed and not quite ready for all those adoring greetings.   But she quickly warmed up to them.  

After eating a delicious potluck meal, we sang Flora "Happy Birthday".  Our friend, Heather, and her boyfriend, Martin, were even able to join us via Skype to sing along(thanks you two!)  

Flora enjoyed her cake, but liked the frosting the most.  She wasn't too messy...

Then it was time to open presents!  She had a couple of cousins/friends to help her open/play with her gifts.  Flora received a lot of wonderful toys and clothes.  

Here she is with her biggest gift.  The rocking horse Grandpa Joe made for her(I like her expression in this pic. It's her "ohhh!" face).

Thank you to all those who came.  The presents and food were well appreciated!  We all had a wonderful time and hope you did, too!!
