Anna's birthday bash

We had such a fun party for Anna's 1st birthday! Some of us had a little too much fun (you know who you are). She thoroughly enjoyed her cake and opening her presents. When Eric put her to bed last night she went right to sleep without so much as a peep. She was even in exactly the same sleeping position when we checked on her before we went to bed.

She's our Goose

My mom was about to give Anna her cake when she dropped it! Luckily it landed on the table and was salvagable.

"Gimme that cake!
"

She dug right in

Nope, she wasn't the least bit shy. At least she didn't get any in her hair.

Oh, wait, yes she did (thanks Uncle Rob)

Poor Goose at sooo much cake!


It took a team of two to clean her up


And she got a bath in the sink


And now, let the gift opening commence!

She got a very snuggly teddy bear and knew just what to do with it

My parents gave her a little crib and my mom made this goose blanket for it. So cute!


Here she is modeling her new hat

Ayden had to get in on that action! He's striking a pose.

Oh yeah, she's all girl. See how happy she is that she got clothes!

And of course she wanted to try them on right away

The big gift of the day was this cop car from Daddy and Mama

It was a very popular toy! The other kids wasted no time fighting over it.

Cousin Dakota squeezed in

So did Aunt Jen

After the party my parents and my sister's family stayed and we played a game. Anna "helped" grandma.

She looks like such a big girl!

These are for you, ma

You just can't invite Eric's family anywhere without bedlam breaking out :oD
