Marie's Birthday Part 1

So Marie is officially 1 year old now (and a few days). I'm super slow this week with getting anything done because it's been super crazy. So here is the first part of her birthday.

Arnold had to go into work so we decided to do the presents in the morning and then meet up with him for lunch. Here is Marie with her new toy, although I think Sam plays with it as much or more than she does at this point. I'm sure that will change quickly as she does love it and is getting into that type of stuff more.

I think this shows very well how she felt about the whole day. I think she was, for the most part, just really confused. I have to admit it was pretty funny.

And she loves the pumpkin muffins we like to make so of course that's what she got for breakfast. I think she approved. :)
As for the rest of the day...(you do not have to read if you are not interested) We decided as we were walking to the train with Arnold that we didn't want to walk there again in 2 hours to go meet him for lunch so instead we just decided to go with him then. I have to admit it made for an exciting morning (we went shopping) and afternoon (with two cramped up kids on the train) but it was so much fun to be with Arnold on the train and for lunch. Marie was asleep by the time we met up with him and when she woke up and saw Arnold she snuggled right into him and got the HUGEST smile on her face. Almost as if she was saying, "Yes, I'm home now!" It was so great but we didn't bring the camera so there is no documentation of the morning or afternoon. Sorry! Just know it was a beautiful sunny day, just perfect to celebrate her 1st birthday with. :)
