Happy 1st Birthday Sumaya!

Enjoying her birthday cupcake!

I took the day off and we all enjoyed her special day together...first, we were off to the Mall of America and for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.

 family picture...haven't had one of those in a while

After lunch I bought 2 ride tickets..one for the sponge bob roller coaster for Emad (had to surprise him with this or he never would have gone on it) and he LOVED it, by the way...

 and the other for Sumaya and I to go on the carousel...and she LOVED it as well. She was giggling the whole ride and really enjoyed it.

 Blowing out the candle - with a little help from mom.

Playing with my 'birthday cake' from grampa and grammy b. Emad is still amazed that you can actually 'blow out' the candles. Pretty cool!

Thanks to our friend Carol for the Target gift card. This is what we picked out. She giggles when she's sitting on the turtle and the music starts.

Loves her new kitchen.

 Saturday morning hairdo.

It was a beautiful day on Saturday so we were off to the Como Zoo.

 Sleepy polar bear.

And a sad giraffe. The outdoor animals go inside for the winter and never seem happy. :(

Not this girl, though...she's happy to be outside enjoying the sunshine!!

Today after work...time to go to Target.

And with her friend Charlie. 

It was another beautiful day today here in Minneapolis. It's supposed to be in the 70s the rest of the week through the weekend. Unusual for March, but we're not complaining. Gonna get outside this weekend for sure. Can't wait!
