Greg, Erin, Car and Quincey

So here is the run down of Quins big day.

It started out with some attempts at the previous tutu pictures. Not so successful. Let me tell you that one year olds are not so great at the posing thing. Especially inside, which is where we were since it was raining out...

BUT, it was successful in the sense that Carson was really into it, and had to have his own tutu. How can you pass up those pictures? Luckily I had one for him. He kept saying, "take one of me mom. take one like this."



Then he tried to get my camera from me, and then he had a melt down...





THE END.

Next I had to get everything ready. Not sure why I went so overboard with everything, I am usually pretty low maintenance, it is only her first birthday after all. Thing is that I found a bunch of cute stuff at the craft store so I went with it...




G's parents, bro and sis-in-law, and olivia came for dinner, presents, and cake. Problem is that I didn't take a group picture. Why do I always forget those? I am sort of bugged. Anyway, thanks you guys for coming. We had lots of fun.

Quin opened presents and liked them all a lot. Not as much as Carson though. I got her a few things that I had as a kid. Like this little cash register... (Today Carson played with it from the time he woke up, until he went to bed tonight. What a hog!)



Then Quin had her first taste of sugar. Yummy. She didn't know what to do with it so she tried to share it with Grandpa. Then she dove in, and was making all these funny slurping sounds. I think she liked it. Although she only wanted about half of it and then she started throwing it instead.




And the balloon pictures...

See the treat I had to bribe her with to get her to hold still for a picture? She stood there sucking on that thing for a good 10 minutes. Then her legs gave out. Too much standing.

Can't believe she is already one...
