Happy birthday, Cora Belle!
It’s hard to believe that she’s three already. Walking, talking, dancing and giggling with delight. Who could have imagined how wonderful she would turn out to be?
Cora wanted nothing more than an American Girl doll for her birthday this year. She’d been talking about Julie, a hippie from San Francisco, for months. Her wish was granted and she just about exploded with joy when she opened the box. (You can, in fact, see her floating in the air in this picture.)
After a fun-filled afternoon Cora and the kids decorated their own chocolate cake and we spent the evening shrieking and giggling, as you can see in the video.
Wow, what a treat to watch. She was having just the greatest time with everyone making such a fuss over her. We don’t think she could have been happier. We wish her many many more Happy Birthdays.
