Birthday party!

Hi everyone, guess who is a birthday girl? I am of course! On Monday I will be 1 year old! Just in time for my birthday party (which was today), I got a bruise under my eye. I have been practicing my walking, but sometimes it doesn't go the way I want it to. 

Mom and dad had sent out invites, and mom made goodie bags for the guests too. The kids at the party got bags with a little finger puppet. I really wanted to show you my cool chocolate cake but mom forgot to take a photo of it (we have it on video though!), so I can only show you the little mini cake I got in the morning.

When the guests arrived we had some buffet food. Dad had made great chicken fingers. Yum!

Mum made all the little dishes. I liked the hummus and pita bread the best, and a lot of the guests liked the salmon rolls.

I got so many gifts, it was so exiting. Here I am with Roman, Zander and Chloe. They helped me open the gifts which was nice because I haven't quite mastered my gift opening skills yet.

It was so surprising when the cake came out and everyone started to sing. I think I got a little scared actually, but it was soon all better....

....much better, since chocolate cake is quite amazing!

Wow, busy eating here!

Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves at the party. When it started to get dark it was time for our guests to head home. What a great day it had been!

Look everyone at my wonderful birthday gifts! I really like all of them and I was so busy playing with them all night.

I got this birthday crown from Amy and Molly. Although mom and dad loved seeing me wear it I like it better when it was not on my head but rather in my hand so that I could play with it!

Well folks, this birthday is not over yet. Tomorrow I will celebrate again, and open gifts that I got in the mail from my aunt Sara, Ebba, Inez, Steven, my grandmother Ingela and my aunt Annie. Then I'm going to NYC and on Monday I will celebrate my birthday New York style and meet my aunt Nicole (she doesn't want to be called aunt though, so I guess it's just Nicole). Wow, what a great way to start my second year!
