Laurie's First Birthday Party

After church on Sunday, we hosted the whole family for Laurie's birthday party. It was a whirl of fun activity and we all had a blast. Laurie loves to see all her cousins and wishes she could keep up. What a fun, fun day, it really made up for the heartache of my baby turning one.

How cute is her cake?


Visiting with Meg, Mei Mei and Aunt Fair.

Lots of cousins.


Not a fan of her birthday hat.


Laurie wasn't so sure of her cake at first. She stared, wide eyed at the crowd gathered round, singing happy birthday. She gingerly fingered the cake, it was too sticky. But when she tasted and realized it was good stuff, she changed her tune and quickly shoveled it in her mouth, mushing and smashing to be sure to get every bit in her mouth. Once she came down from the sugar high and crashed, it was not a pretty picture. Whew, we sure were glad when she was down for the night!



Our little family. This was after the cake eating. You can still see how slicked back her hair was from all the icing.
Laurie got so many sweet presents from her family.
Bebe and Latta couldn't wait to put up her princess castle. They played and played while Will and I worked on cleaning up. Laurie is in heaven. She stayed in it all by herself for an hour last night. She likes to just lie down and and bang on the sides to see the whole thing shake.
