Mary Laine Turns ONE!

On January 3, 2010, Mary Laine turned one! It is so hard to believe how fast she is growing. Her birthday was a great day. Because it fell on a Sunday, we celebrated with our Sunday School class and family after church. Thanks to everybody who came and to all of you who have been such a support and encouragement over the past year. Here are a few pictures from the party:

I made a "duck cake", since Mary Laine loves bathtime and rubber ducks

Mary Laine's own cake to dig into

The Birthday Girl with Grant, Aunt Su-Su, Papa, Mimi, and UncleWa-Wa

A HUGE thanks to Grant and Susanne who did all of the photo and video work!

Welcoming guests as they arrived

Playing with a rubber duckie

She loves her Papa

ML's big friends (and future babysitters!)

Uncle Walker, G.G. and Papa

NOT a fan of the hat

She has no idea what's coming - she had never had sugar before she ate this cake


Needless to say, she LOVED it!

On a sugar-high

Isabelle entertained us with some tunes - Rollin' on the River was the fan favorite!

Getting a little slap-happy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET GIRL! WE LOVE YOU!
