Abby Rose had her first birthday party. All the proud grandparents were there as well as an aunt, uncle, some cousins, and some special friends. Of course Mom, Dad, and Aaron were there, also.

What a nice set up. Of course, none of us were allowed to touch it until the guests came.

What a nice looking young man. He looks so grown up.

"How much longer do I have to sit here?"

"Fingers are good, but when do I get cake?"

"When can I get up, already?"

"Here I go"

"Now that's better"

The guests begin to arrive






The cousins were there, also.....


Abby had her own personal musician. He played "Happy Birthday" and "It's a Small World", just for her


Some things are just genetic.

Unfortunately, everyone in the crowd was not a music lover
When do we get cake?

Timothy coaching Abby on how to eat cake


You need to be a little closer to the table

Smile for all the cameras - notice Timothy's contribution

Now, that's better




Now what did you call this stuff?
(this was her first time to eat cake)
If you're not going to eat that.....

Did you see that?

Y'all sit over there, and I'll stay over here out of the way

Is everybody doing ok?

I'm better now



So am I
Time to open gifts - notice the change of clothes....


Lots of help

We think we will just stay over here

The ball popper was a hit, especially with Sam and Aaron

The end of a great party, relaxing with Uncle Scott
