1st Birthday Party

Low key affair, plenty of mexican food...lots of ripping of gift wrap. Lots of giggles. Willow had a great time, and we got to have our friends and family over. We had a great time with Ana (the creator of the wonderful cake) and her dog Ryka--Ryka and Willow just LOVED each other (Gabrielle did not like Ryka--she went into hiding).

Willow got many wonderful gifts and many cool items to put into her time capsule. Here's some pictures (most of them taken by big brother Michael):


Michael got Willow Spongebob bath toys. The package in her hands is from Ana. (That's my foot).



My brother's feet; Ryka and Willow hanging out.



Opening a gift--Ana's cell phone...


Michael showing Willow how to use her baby laptop (given by Mom & Dad)


Cake time! (The monkey's ear got hurt on transit).


Willow liked chocolate cake!

She is so cute! I love all the explanations of extraneous adult body parts. The picture of Willow getting tickled is so precious.

What a cute cake! I love the picture of both kids with the baby laptop. Andrew has the same laptop and just has so much fun with it. I hope Willow does too.
