Thought I should post about all of our birthday week (at our house b-days last for a week) celebrations. We kicked off birthday week with a family birthday party on Sunday. I think someone knew they were the center of attention, what a ham. Thank you to everyone that came and made Harper;s day so special. We know how important each of you are in making our kids lives so awesome. We often wonder if we could do it without you all. We love you all. Here are birthday memories....
Imagine you get a pile of gifts and your favorite thing is a card that has a frog singing happy birthday. You never know what they will love. That card has now got us through many diaper changes, had I only known all along that is all it took to keep her still!
The Tomlinson gang. Mia is a favorite at our house.
She finally got the concept of unwrapping she just had to get to them before Briggs did.
Doe Doe and PaPa delivered one of our presents a week early. What kid doesn't love a cozy coupe. She loves crawling in and out of it but has yet to master the driving.
All ready for birthday dinner. Mexican food. Yum.
This is where it all went south. As I sat the cake down in front of Harper she reached out and grabbed the flame. I yelled, she cried, I cried, she cried. Luckily she was not hurt I think more scared that I had yelled. Most of her cake pictures have big tears included. Not a stellar parent moment for me!
We recovered from the trauma pretty quickly after our first bite of frosting. She really dug in and made the perfect mess for her 1st birthday.
After dinner we met Gram and Grandad at Sheridan's for some ice cream. She loved eating Gram's chocolate ice cream and running around chasing Briggs.
When does it become not cute to have chocolate ice cream on your face!
We have yet to get a family photo with everyone looking but here is our attempt. Love how she is looking at Briggs, such admiration.
Come on over anytime and our live in chef will be happy to cook you up something on the spot. She is in love with her new kitchen set.
I have to say it was a great birthday all around. I really can't believe that our little girl is already 1. So excited to see how she blossoms and changes over the next year. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful little lady in our lives. Here's to another fabulous year!
