Stella’s One!

Today I got to go to Stella’s first birthday party! The boys were at Acquire the Fire and Chris had a district meeting in Olympia, so I was the only one that got to go.

Theresa and I had lunch at New Season’s on the way, after going to the feed store. I love having lunch with Theresa! We always eat the coolest stuff! Today was turkey baguette, chicken lemongrass salad, and an artichoke-mushroom “thing”. Yummy!

Amy did a great job on the cake, as usual, and Stella got some really cute vintage presents! 

Molding chocolate is the best! Makes a terrific cake and tastes good, too! 

Stella decided she really didn’t need a bib

But she really did need it…

 

Stella had plenty of help from the big kids!

Ada liked the part where everyone threw the paper up in the air!

After Charlie went outside to play, Ada broke his “NO GIRLS ALLOWED” rule and played with his trains. Shhhh! Don’t tell Charlie! :o)

Happy Birthday Stella! We love you!!!
