1st Birdthday!

So, we had a small little birthday party for Khyah (finally!), and here is our picture diary of the event:

We weren't sure if Khyah was a chocolate girl or a vanilla, so we made a yellow cake with both colors. And yes, she managed to get her hand in the frosting before we cut the cake (isn't that tradition?). And no, she did not personally get to blow out her candle . . . too many "experts" sitting near the cake. We tried twice though.

So we gave her some cake, and Khyah actually has this thing with silverware, so we gave her a fork, and let her have at it.

 

She's one smart cookie. You never eat food unless you kill it first.

But once it was dead, she cleaned the cake right up. And notice how clean she is, considering.

 

And this is Khyah saying, "I think I ate too much . . . I better undo my button!"

 Yes, that is Brandt eating ice-cream with a fork.

We invited over our next door neighbors to enjoy cake with us. Yeah, I'm a lousy picture taker.

The boys had the presents open before Khyah was cleaned up from the cake, but I don't think Khyah really minded.

And here she is, sweetness herself, enjoying her presents.
