Today we had Sophie's party at Gramma & Grampa's house on lovely Mercer Island. Chock full of family and friends, it was just a splendid day all around. Here the Guest of Honor is photographed arriving with her entourage of balloons.
Sophie meeting puppy Daisy (very small!) with Adelaide and Meaghan on the deck.
With Gramma Kathy having some lunch and, apparently, some champange...
Cutie pie. Many thanks to Meaghan Darling for many of these sweet photos of the day!
Sophie showing off the dress I made special for the day!
What? A cupcake for me? We were also singing at this point, which Sophie loved. She has been to several other birthday events since this day, and each time 'Happy Birthday' is sung, she gets all happy and looks around as if it's for her. It's great. Who am I to tell her that every day is not her birthday? 
Sidenote: I am very excited at finally having the Very Good Excuse to figure out how toun-high-altitude my mom's famous "Patty Cake" recipe from Colorado to Seattle. It took three test cakes, but I finally got it, and Sophie's very first bite of cake was indeed a good one! Now to master that icing. Maybe for her 10th Birthday...
Presents! We love presents! Like shoes...
Tee shirts which flatter one's mother...
Handmade dresses...
And books. Of course, books.
A littie fun with Owen Darling.
Birthday Cupcake Eatin' Yum!
Thank you, everyone, for a fabulous First Birthday Party!
