We had lots of Ben's side of the family come to celebrate (Tom, Marilyn, grandma Maynard, grandma Bryan, aunt Melody and uncle Fred, aunt Kim, uncle Les, Anna and Stephen, aunt Lori, Mike, Jen, Abby, Tyler, Isaiah, and Aubrey) and friend Eric.
It was a great party! At first, Andi was a little hesitant with all the people and noise in the house, but after a while she warmed up to everyone.
Unwrapping a PILE (!) of presents with Dad:
2nd cousin Aubrey likes to help.
Her first birthday cake! A smiling strawberry lady bug, with red velvet cupcakes. We won't mention how long it took mom to frost these! ;)
In her pretty dress by the cake.
She's a professional cupcake eater now!
Hap!
Clap, clap, clap. Smear, smear smear!
This time it also ended up all over her head and in her ears :) Mmmm!
Did I mention that ever since those delicious tastes of cake and frosting, our little miss Andi has pretty much lost her interests in vegetables? Why bother?! Haha.
And a couple of pictures of the fun presents she got:
A pink dump truck, and a barn to learn a few colors, letters and animals;
A little table filled with excitement and to help her learn to stand and walk;
A bunch of clothes for the coming summer and fall! She's going to be way better dressed than mom and dad!
And, a rocking horse that grandpa Tom and grandma Marilyn made!
Now it is on to year #2! Looking forward to seeing what it will bring!
