Celebrate!

I always love a party and yesterday had the pleasure of celebrating two milestone-type birthdays: Bea turning one and Jodie turning thirty. As always there were presents galore and a delicious dinner of  Spaghetti Alfredo with salmon chunks, salad and garlic bread. Yum. I could've had seconds, but I didn't.


Of course there was cake, chocolate-my favorite; and Bea seemed to like the taste while wearing much of the sweet treat. As if that wasn't


enough, there was peppermint ice cream on the side.

After a change of clothes, Bea-with her mom's help-enjoyed the gift opening while the rest of us stood around snapping photos of this momentous occasion. One of my gifts to her was a green wool beanie that I made over the course of a few

weeks.  Oops! I guess she'll have to grow into it. I picked the "child" size but should have selected the "baby" size. Still, she looks pretty cute in it. It'll be good for cold LA mornings, though there aren't too many of those.

The party was lots of fun, and I was happy to be a part of the celebration.
