365 days of Alex!

Alex turned 1!  We had a dinner party for her.  Kate chose the plates (looks like Peekaboo Farm (a book), Mama, she'll love it!)

Kate and I made the cupcakes and Papa supplied the balloon (which hung around the house for weeks)

Kate was so diligent setting up for the party

Looks satisfactory

Let me at em

First cupcake went great.  Unlike Kate, she ate the cake part, too.

One more?

OK.  :-)

Present time!

Kate chose this peg hammering bench for Alex.  "Because she loves to whack"  Remember how Kate dubbed Alex's repeated arm movement her "whacking arm" when she was a newborn?  Well, she still has it and LOVES this bench.  I mean she really loved it more than any other gift.  So sweet that Kate apparently knows her best!

Notice Kat's face.  Suddenly she got quiet and then tearfully announced she wasn't having a good time.  She was unprepared for Alex having gifts and she none.  She got over it quickly but needed some TLC :-)

Kate loves to help her with it

Beautiful gift from Grammie came in the mail

Puzzle and PJ book.  Kate loved it.  I mean Alex.

A gift from Mama and Papa.  A WOW motorcycle

Alex loves her "guys".  If you tell her "go bring me a guys, Alex", she will toddle over and bring you a few.  I think he is even saying "guys"

I love the mama guy. :-()
