Life of Campbell and Cassidy: The Birthday Celebration

Its Saturday morning and the first birthday celebration is over. Cassie seemed to have a good time! It was a small celebration including us and Uncle Colt and Cooper. Cooper is the son of a friend of ours and Uncle Colt is keeping an eye on him for the weekend so that they could go out of town.

We began the night barbecueing burgers. After dinner, it was pretty late so we proceeded with everything. The kids wanted to do presents first so why not? Cooper and Campbell did most of the opening as Cassidy watched them entranced! She apparently did not want to put down the tennis toy Uncle Colt brought her! Cooper even brought a present for Campbell! That was so sweet of them. They got her a wooden bus pull toy that is also a shape sorter. I have to say she has spent a great deal of time with this toy since opening it! Another favorite is a toy vacuum cleaner. She loves the music it makes. We got this because she gets excited everytime we pull the vacuum out. One of my favorites is the charm bracelet Nana and Papa got her. This is an item that will grow with her over the years! She also got a purse and a doll. The purse is in hopes that she will quit emptying my wallet. Let me tell you, if she gets her hands on my wallet, she begins pulling everything(cards, money, etc) out and if you pull it away from her, she is quite vocal about what she thinks of that!

After the boys finished opening her presents, we got on with the cake. She at first didn't know what to thing but by the end had a great mess going on! I will let the pictures say all for that event!

After cake she went straight to the bathtub and got cleaned off. Dad hosed off the highchair while I hosed her down. I am a bit worried because when all done her face was a bit splotchy where the icing had been. I'm hoping this is not from an allergy. I have to look into what goes into the whipped frosting. Is there milk in it? She's been doing okay with milk I thought. Eggs? Will have to keep an eye on it. Her diapers were quite more frequent after the whipped cream she had on Thursday. After bath, she played briefly with her new toys before going to bed.
