*Ruth turns 1!

We celebrated Ruth's 1st birthday this weekend!  It was a small little party with just the Kims and the Mukaayas - people who light up her face any time they come over :)  She is a social little thing and had a wonderful time with all the excitement.  More on the birthday girl herself later...

cake!

 friends!

 She loves to lift "heavy" things like this.

Edie wrapped up her leap pad for Ruth : )

She has started climbing stool and chairs and was so happy with herself here being able to see the counter!

 we decorated during her nap - she was so excited about the balloons and streamers - "ooohhh!!!"

 help with the carrot cake:

Vera and Edie are over the top in love with their baby sister and planned and talked about her birthday for months. Their cards and gifts were so sweet.
