Vela's Big Day

Today was such a fun day!! Since it was Sunday, we had a simple family day with her (we will celebrate with extended family tomorrow).

Here is Vela after church, ready for a nap.

Here is the cake I made for her.
Here we are singing Happy Birthday. Little Hema helped to blow the candle out.

Here is the traditional Hawkins birthday song.

Vela with the cake.

I think she thought the candle was a spoon.

Vela got a Glo Worm and she loves it. She keeps hugging, kissing and chewing on it.

We love you Vela and look forward to many more happy years with you!
