I can hardly believe it's been a year. Where did the time go? Has she been a part of our family for a year? We feel so blessed. She has been a wonderful baby. A sweet sister to Reena who often tells us that Debrie is her best friend. What a perfect gift she is to us.
She loves stuffed animals, most especially bears. She'll point and says "be be" for bears and when she is given one she'll hug it, kiss it and lie down on top of it. So carebears was her theme. I made her a wish bear cake and for care-a-lot look alike castle spirals I used ice cream cones filled with cake mix. For the activity we had a "Build your own carebear workshop" where I made Molasses gingerbread cookie dough and everyone cut out their bear shape cookies and decorated them. We had the kids do a sack race to Debrie. She enjoyed watching them. We invited people she knows and her babysitters. There were more people than our house could hold but the fun was well worth it.
Besides planning for Brie's BIG 1 party , I also went shopping with a friend of mine at some of my favorite stores. I spent too much, way too much on clothes. Someone once told me that she hasn't seen me wear the same dress to church yet. Yikes! It's truly a weakness and I have a husband who spoils me and that doesn't help. But I did find that cute dress for Brie for her birthday from H&M when I took them for the first time in a looooong time to the mall. The kids clothing company Chasing Fireflies wanted to see Reena and Debrie for some photoshoot and I brought them in to model for them in some cute dresses. There were so many kids there and they picked up a runny nose. I don't think I will make them go to many of these. The fame is just not worth it. Reena loved trying on their clothes though. I love having girls!

What fun pictures and what a great birthday it must have been for Debrie. We loved the cute cake you made - that takes patience!! It truly is worth the nine months and the pain at the end for these precious babies. How can you remember the hurt when you look at their angelic little faces and hold them in your arms. Thanks for sharing. We love you, Grandma
