Three Days To Go!

Aurora's first birthday fast approaches!!! I cannot believe she is already turning one year old! Where does the time go???

We had really wanted to go down to Sacramento to celebrate her first birthday with our family there, like we did for Acadia's first birthday... but the scheduling just did not work. So then we were left with the question of what to do here? We thought it would just be nice to have a couple families over that Rori really likes and have a BBQ but most (if not all) of the people we wanted to invite were going to be out of town on her birthday! So, we have finally decided to celebrate on Monday instead.

Acadia and I went to order Rori's birthday cake and while we considered Elmo or Butterflies as the theme, when we got there we realized the only theme it should be... DUH! Princess Aurora, of course!!! So, we ordered a cute cake with Princess Aurora dancing with Prince Phillip on it. :) Then today we got a couple cute Sleeping Beauty (and other princess) decorations. Yay, it's all coming together!

We're so excited that Rori is growing up so big! She does lots of fun stuff now. Like, opening every drawer she can find and emptying all their contents, pushing any button she sees even if it's the TV and you were watching something, experimenting with various objects as she hits them against other objects (sometimes parts of your body) to see what happens... you know, stuff like that. ;) She is also doing super cute and sweet stuff like blowing kisses (she even makes a really good kissing sound, none of this "open mouth" stuff), waving hello or good-bye (usually most enthusiastically when it's little kids, like Cadi's friends), giving "loves" by snuggling and saying "Aahhh", dancing in circles, singing like The Little Mermaid (Ah, ah, ahhhhh, ah, ah, ahhhh...), sharing cheerios with us (even ones she already started to put in her mouth, lol), and lots more. :)

She's a cutie! We think we'll keep her! ;)
