I do not know how it happened.  Our sweet “Ducky” is now 10 years old!

She didn’t wait around for the family tradition of waking up the birthday kid with a song.  She wanted to be up and around for every minute of her special day.

She started her day digging into her CBS.

It was “dress like a pirate day” at co-op, so she was ready for that before opening a few gifts from Nan.

After a wonderful day at co-op, we had a simple dinner and did gifts.

She got a picture of a ruffed grouse from Nigel. That is her favorite bird.

 

She was super excited to open

A JESSIE DRESS!

And I love that she was also excited for

regular clothes! (with Toy Story characters)

Her request for a chocolate cake was easy to comply with.

 

 

it was amazing.

Like her!

Her first birthday!
