Birthday for the Baby

We had an awesome time celebrating Rebekah's first birthday. I hung up a birthday banner on Monday and sang every version of birthday tidings I know at least 3 times each, each day. That equals at least 12 times of us pointing to the banner while I sang and Bekah bounced to the beat. Yeah, I'm a good birthday singer. Friday afternoon my sister Heather came up with her husband and two kids, then my parents showed up and the party really started. We went to dinner then came back to have some dessert and open presents. The Logan Family was present (Brett, Jess, Cody, and Chelsey) which made for a cozy living room and tons of fun.

Brett being hilarious, as usual.

Wrapping paper was a big hit!

So was the ball from Heather

And the horse from Chelsey and Cody. Look at her ride!

Sweet Lydia who is six days older than Rebekah and has lots and lots of curly hair.
She enjoyed the wrapping paper, too.

Did I mention the horse was a favorite? She says "Nay" all the time and kisses him.

And she calls the ball "Maaal" and likes to "k" (kick) it.

We stripped the girls down so they could enjoy some birthday cupcakes

I have a video of the girls enjoying their cupcakes but I can't get it to load, so I'll put it on Facebook and just tell about it here. Basically, Rebekah thought the icing was awesome and got it all over her face and hands. Lydia had already eaten a large dinner and some of her mom's cupcake, so she was not interested in her own cupcake at all. In fact. Heather tried feeding some icing to her but it was rejected very emphatically! So Bekah demolished Lydia's cupcake as well!

She decided to come climb on me after her feast.

Then both girls got put in the bath. And James later joined them!
