Stella's Year in Review: Director's Cut

I have never blogged video before.
I barely shoot video.

But I thought
seeing as it is Christmas
that I would try something new.

So rather than writing 
a sappy letter 
to my daughter who can't even read
chronicling the first
year of her precious
sweet 
existence

I would make 
an iMovie of it
instead.

Enjoy.

Happy Birthday,
Stella.

I love you in more ways
than I can count.

Forever
and
always, too.

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind always be at your back
and may the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance amongst the stars.

Cheers,
A

*Editor's Note: The original version of this video played along to Bob Dylan's "Forever Young." Sony Music Entertainment decided that was not savvy (even though the song came from my iTunes library via a CD I purchased) so I had to add a "Pre-Loaded" song from YouTube.  Stella was very excited when I played the Nutcracker March.  Maybe I birthed a baby ballerina after all....

  3. That's just lovely, Athena!!! I love the way Stella daintily dips her finger into the cake at first and then just digs in! What a wonderful way to commemorate such a special day...Happy Holidays!
