Pugs & Kisses: Happy Birthday Suri!

Happy 1st Birthday Suri!

January 5, 2012

Suri celebrated her 1st birthday on January 5, 2012! But she had a lot of parties before this actual date! She was able to celebrate in Bakersfield, CA with family there & had lots of fun playing with her toys & cousins; then she had two birthdays in VA & a special 1st birthday photo shoot @ JCPenney! It was wonderful to be able to share the big day with both sides of our families & to see our little girl have a wonderful time & enjoy her special day! She's growing so fast & is such a joy and blessing in our lives - each and every day! Happy birthday princess! Mommy & Daddy love you - to the moon and back <3 xoxo

Auntie Amanda bought Suri her first ever balloons & Suri loved them, so did Sam :)

When it came time for her birthday cake, she was a little cautious because no one else had any cake & we were all sitting around staring at her! Quickly though, she got into it and enjoyed the yummy oreo goodness! She attempted to smash her face into it a few times, but stopped herself once we all started laughing. She did pick up the whole plate & take a big bite! Lots of messy fun!

Special treat for our sweet!

In Virginia, we had a nice little celebration with my side of the family. Suri had on her special 'Birthday Princess' outfit & a special corsage sent from Great Auntie Pat & Uncle Jack in Chicago! Suri had fun opening her gifts & definitely enjoyed another taste of some yummy cake! It really never gets old watching a baby smear frosting all over themselves! Too cute! (until you have to clean it up). We had a wonderful time & truly enjoyed everyone helping us share in her special 1st birthday!

She also got a little birthday party on her actual birthday - just a cookie cake & some family time! She is such a ham & had such a fun time! Our little girlie is growing up & it's an amazing journey to watch unfold right before our eyes!
