Nora's Celebration!

My little Nora turned 1 on June 8th -- as mentioned earlier -- and we had her birthday party on the 12th so that everyone from our family could be here. Phil's parents were in town, which was exciting for all the grandkids. We had what we call "Fried Chicken Friday," where each family brings a chicken dinner with some sides, we pool our efforts and everyone has a great meal. For the party, I supplied the cupcakes. :) It was a little cooler than we had hoped (our early summer has been rainy and cold!), but very festive. We're blessed to have such a great family!

Mmmmm -- Chocolate cupcakes with cherry-sour cream frosting

Yummy!
