After a year full of fun that seemed to fly by, Mia's first birthday arrived on August 6 and, to mark the milestone, we had a weekend of parties! On Saturday, we celebrated with pizza and cake at our condo. Of course, Mia had no idea that it was her birthday, but she soon figured out that she loves cake and had a fun time opening her new toys! On Sunday, we followed up with a fun party at Grampie's house, which included the legendary 6-foot sub from Bob's Italian Food Store in Medford - I am confident no one left that party hungry! By Sunday, Mia was a champion cake-eater (though still a little uncertain about listening to us sing the "Happy Birthday" song), and she was so happy to see family and play with the wonderful toys she received. It was the perfect ending to a perfect year - we can't wait to see what the next year brings!
