Party time!

It's time to party!  We had several friends come over, including Lorelai's best friend, Madelaine! The theme of the party was Sesame Street with an emphasis on Cookie Monster.  Lorelai had so much fun...and she was spoiled with way too many gifts.  We had a nice BBQ, cake and ice cream, and then opened presents.  It was a fun time.

Excited for her first birthday cake.  Good job decorating, Mom!

Ready to blow out the candle!

Lorelai getting her first taste of chocolate!

She seems to be enjoying it!

Daddy, would you like some?  She's so good at sharing.

 

Big enough bite, Lorelai?

loves the balloons

Playing in her ball pit.  It's hard to fit in the tunnel with that big tutu!

The tricycle was a big hit!

Here are a few videos.  The first is a video of Lorelai enjoying her birthday cake.  I was expecting her to smash it and make a big mess, but she was surprisingly gentle.  I guess she wanted to eat as much as possible and not waste any!

This next video is Lorelai enjoying the tricycle she got from Grandma.  That is one happy baby!
