Happy First Birthday Natalie!

Today is my "sister" Natalie's Birthday. She is one. It seems like only yesterday she came to live with us. She is such a good girl. She treats me good and is learning to be very gentle when she pets me. Mommy and Daddy love her too. They have so much fun together. I hope Natalie has a good birthday party. I can't wait to hear about. I love you Natalie!

Love, Tanner

Cupcakes

Checking the cupcakes.
Waiting patiently.

I think they're almost done!

This was Natalie's first time helping mommy in the kitchen. She loves the oven and when she discovered the light came on, she was all smiles.

Natalie's First Happy Meal

While they were up in Pine City, mommy, daddy and Natalie stopped at McDonald's for lunch. Natalie got to try her first happy meal. At first all she cared about was the toy. Then she ate a few fries. Her favorite food was the bun. What a silly girl!

An Apple a Day...

Natalie has discovered that eating apples is fun. She is lucky that her granny and gramps work at an orchard!
