1st birthday

Well, these pictures are not all in the right order, but anyway: it was a pretty cold afternoon so no dress pictures. There was a get together/picnic/park afternoon for a bunch of families on Alice's birthday, so we just took her birthday celebration there. She had a fun time!
Here is a set of baby books Sharon got for her. She loves these! She also got a musical instrument set: drums, tamborine, maracas etc..
I'm trying to develop her musical talent, which I believe she has.

I baked a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and her daddy made it look like a Pooh/bear face. She loved it! Looking at it and growling, And eating it, that is. Sneaking a pick while mommy smiles unknowingly into the camera.
Two happy campers!
Some park play:

Here's our sad little attempt at a family photo. Believe me, it's the best one out of..all the other ones.
