Gwen's First Birthday!!



Baby Gwen is ONE!!! I seriously can't believe it!! We had such a fun day celebrating it. Kaylix and Elsie helped me decorate and wrap the presents and bake the cake. They were so cute being perfect little helpers. They were so excited for the party to start which made for a long day. I heard "is it party time yet?" all day. But it was so fun to see them excited.






Gwen was also getting impatient about getting started. She could not wait to eat her cake.



I am so mad at myself because we videoed her eating the cake but I forgot to take pictures. :( Maybe I will have to figure out a way to upload the video. She was so funny, she kept trying to get the cake and trying to get the cake and then finally I put a piece in front of her and she wouldn't touch it. She kept looking around at all of the adults like we had poisoned it or something. Once we helped her get started she loved it and of course got real messy.
She didn't get much chance to open her gift because her older sister was "helping" too much. But she received a clock radio (so I don't have to keep getting Elsie's) and shoes from mom and dad. Elsie picked out mini mermaids to give her, so she can share them. :) Jenny my sister gave her a barn toy with shapes that she loves. My best friend Jenni Partington came too and gave her homemade hairbows, which were super cute. Grandpa Bill gave her McDonald's bucks which she will love to use up. I think she did pretty good for a one year old.



I love this picture. She is just so CUTE!!!
