Andrea's 1st Birthday!!!!

Andrea had a fantastic birthday!  So many people came to see her and celebrate her 1st birthday with her.  We didn't take a ton of pictures, but we took a lot of video.  She opened every single present by herself.  Well, I helped a little, but only to speed things up.  She could have opened all of them.  I was so proud of her.  Don't worry, we got her opening every single present on film, almost an hour of opening presents. :-)  You can definitely tell she is our first child! 

 She pulled the lid off and everything!

 This is the only picture we got of her looking up during the present opening. She was too excited about all the new presents!

 This is the cake that I made her with a lot of help from my Mother-in-law!

 One of the best parts of the party was the cousins and Adaliah (who's an adopted cousin :-)) Kaydence would take gifts right after Andrea would open them and try them out for a little while.  One of the funniest presents was this big bag of blocks.  The second the kids saw the blocks they ALL headed over to them as fast as they could.  Even Adaliah was sooo excited to play with them she crawled over as fast as she could.  She wasn't going to miss a thing. It was so cute to see all of them playing together and enjoying every single toy!

 Kaydence is going to be a great big sister!  She wanted to help Andrea with a lot of things.  I don't have it on picture, but Casen was wearing a Utah Utes shirt, so while everyone was so intently watching Andrea open her gifts her grabbed Casen and put one of my Blue BYU shirts on top of his other shirt! It was pretty hilarious.  He came in and everybody yelled, "Casen, what happened to your shirt?" Pretty funny.

 After presents it was finally time for cake!!!  Andrea didn't want to eat with her hands, she wanted a fork. :-)
She got her own beautiful piece of cake!

 She's actually pretty good at feeding herself with a fork and spoon.

 

She did eventually use her hands and started to get nice and messy.

 This is what the cake looked like at the end.

 After the party it was time to play with ALL the toys at the same time! :-)
