I can't believe that just a year ago she was brand new! It seems like yesterday, and she's still my baby...but that will soon change I guess. She was all over the cake...even ate a little bit of it. I loved it when she leaned over and took a big chomp out of the cake!
It's good to see her feeling more like herself again! She's actually smiling, playing, and sleeping decently, instead of just crying and wanting to be held!
She had lots of fun with the wrapping paper and watching her brother and sister tear open her gifts. She liked the riding toy we got her, and pushed it across the room. I'm sure she'll be walking in no time! Of course her big sister soon took over and started riding it all over the living room!
L is turned into such a toddler...and such a little girl. We had the delightful experience of listening to 15 minutes of crying and screaming this morning because her outfit wasn't pink enough. It was pink...fuschia actually...but it had some white and blue stripes, which means it isn't solid pink...and fuschia is actually more like red than pink to this little girl! I'm not sure how she turned into such a princess... we've been pretty anti-princess, anti-pink in this house. Apparently that's come back to bite us in the rear end.
Our guy has been struggling a bit lately...not wanting to play with friends as much at daycare, getting stressed out pretty easily, and that means getting pretty emotional at times. It's tough watching him struggle, but at least there are bright spots in each day too...like seeing him so excited today for his baby sister's birthday, singing happy birthday to her, and playing so nicely with her.
We got his school pictures today...so cute! He did such a nice job on the portrait, but he looks a little confused in his class picture :-) He was really excited about surprising us with them when he got home today!
The kids have been asking for Christmas decorations lately, so I guess we might actually put some lights up on the outside of our house this year. G has been asking for the animated wire lighted animals...so it looks like our house may once again have deer on the front yard (when we were kids, and our grandparents lived down the street, the owners of our house used to have cement deer on the front lawn) ;-)

Thanks for the new pics and the write ups. M is looking very happy with burthday cake all over her!You did the same thing on your first birthday - face into the cake, icing all over and cake in your mouth. It wasn't so long ago that you too were little, and now your little one is a year. Time goes so quick, enjoy every minute you can with your children. L looks so smug sitting on M's new toy, L has grown in the last two weeks! G is looking very handsome as well. Wish we could help on his bad days, hope his good times will start to outnumber the rough times.
Thanks for keeping us posted, love you all lots, and miss you, mom and dad
It looks like everyone had a great time! The cake looks actually edible...mmmmm.
It's great to hear M's older siblings are 'helpful' and excited about her big day. Of course L is obsessed with 'princess pink' since you are all anti-princess pink! Didn't you learn ANYTHING growing up with me??
Send some cake... ;)
You need flashing reindeer, pink flamingos AND the snowman in a bubble for true Christmas spirit. Tee hee.
Looks like a great party!!! Hope she had a good day. S has been asking for more time with G...he asked if you had emailed back about him coming over to play (being there on Sunday didn't count);)
Happy birthday to M!!!
