Celebration: St. Nick edition

Lucky Me ... 2 reasons to celebrate in 1 day! I woke up to find surprises in my shoe ...
... and had a blast eating sneaker snacks and blowing bubbles with aunt Betsy to start off a big day.

Celebration: I'm 1! edition

If it's Saturday and it's my first birthday ... it's a gingerbread cookie breakfast (thanks to Joanne the bakery lady)!

It's also donning my aunt Betsy's scarf and opening up a few presents ...... before a lot of friends came over to play and celebrate with me!
We had 7-up cake, chocolate zucchini cupcakes, and a fancily decorated cake ...... and they were all mmmm mmmm good.
My friend Rey stayed afterwards to help show me the finer points of pelican-walking and help me open up my other presents.All in all ... a great day filled with lots of smiles and friends!

Ho ho ho

Santa came around to our neighborhood tonight so I went to meet him for the first time ... and was a bit skeptical about sitting on his lap ...

... so Mom accompanied me.
We met up with my friend Rey and headed across the street to have dinner with his parents. Rey and I play together every day in daycare and continued to share smiles and hugs tonight.

Only ...

... more days until my big day!

Test run

Dad had Me duty while Mom headed to the gym tonight, and I kept him busy moving from birthday toy to birthday toy, making sure each one played just right.Clever Me even figured out how to play with a present while sitting on a present at the same time!
