In Which We Celebrate Josie's Birthday

We have some experience in celebrating first birthdays, but this occasion called for something different:

a decidely feminine affair,

complete with pom-poms, a bunting, fruit, and cake.

Pink cake.

(Gulp.)

I have to eat my words.

The girl needed a dainty cake, and the boys nixed my plan for white.  "Pink," they decided.

She was happy with their decision.

Jonathan was kind enough to help the birthday girl,

but I think she would have figured things out on her own.

The highlight, however, was her gift:

her very own shopping cart.

She knew exactly what to do.

Happy Birthday, dear girl!
