We celebrated Danielle's first birthday last weekend! It was AWESOME! We can't begin to express how blessed we are to have this wonderful baby girl and family and friends who surround us to multiply our joys.
This was to be Danielle's first experience with sweets - chocolate, cake, etc. We are now questioning if there was an accidental switch in the hospital :) because Danielle cried when we tried to give her a cupcake on her birthday. Round two was the following day at her party. She was completely uniterested in the massive cupcake sitting before her. Day three, we tried ice cream. Ahh, yes, she is a Christian-Luepke after all! She loved that! :)
In these pictures, you will see Danielle next to the tree that was planted on her Baptismal Birthday, her sitting on her new fire engine, crying at the trauma over the cupcake, uniterested in her massive cupcake, and mommy and daughter.
