First Birthday

The first birthday celebration began in New Hampshire.

The day Sophia officially turned one, her parents, and her Gran and Uncle James woke her by singing happy birthday. She kept her eyes shut and swatted her arm at us.

She seemed more pleased with how her day ended. We served a meal of her favorite foods including Salmon, Mango and Avocado Salsa and broccoli. 



After dinner she enjoyed opening cards and presents.



For dessert she had chocolate ice cream (frozen bananas and unsweetened cocoa powder)and cake made from bananas, apple sauce, oats, whole wheat flour, coconut oil, baking soda and cinnamon, with a cream cheese and apple juice icing (without added sugar it tasted more like a muffin than cake).

The celebration also included a dance with her Dad. A birthday tradition I shared with my own father for 19 years.
