One

A birthday celebration was the highlight of our weekend. One-year-old Tima could not believe we would leave her alone with a cake that size, lol.

She also could not fathom why so many people crowded around to watch.

A swim afterwards with her Dad brought her around to her old self.

  Thanks Tanja. I think she ate mostly icing and destroyed the rest, lol. Tradition over here.

Her expression does say…”Is this some kind of trick?” Those first birthdays are always the best!
