Artemis' First B-Day; A Little Late

catastrophe?
a balloon wonderland
 "I can't handle all of these balloons!!!"
 catastrophe averted, in extraordinary fashion i might add. well done.
 glacial lake anyone?
it is always difficult to decide what to wear at a december birthday party.
wow, that is a lot of puzzles. hopefully she will grow to be a good problem solver.
full cuteness activate!
a place to call her own, with unicorns no less.
reading to the group.
so, we thought we were going to have a quiet party in the village with just family, but all of artemis' friends worked their magic and made it out to turn our little get together in to quite the shindig.
this is artemis' best friend in the village. she lives next door and they play together nearly everyday.
this is artemis' best friend in thessaloniki.
no  birthday is complete without a little cake to the face.
artemis is crying, but only because the party is ending. on the left is eleftheria's god son, and that is his new brother on the right.
"smell my foot! seriously, smell it."

thank you for all the well wishes, love and gifts. it has been a pretty crazy year, here's to a bunch more.

So, I left a comment yesterday and for whatever reason it didn't post?? Anyway, now it is a 2fer. Both posts are beautiful. We missed you like crazy over the holidays. It was very odd to have such a quiet holiday. Thank goodness LeAnna and Adam were home!!! I am glad that yours was full of family and fun and a slower pace than usual.
