Helen is One



Since her birthday is so near to Xmas, we had her party on Christmas Eve to make it a little less like Xmas. We invited all of her family and a few close friends. There were about fifteen that came and I was so glad! She had her first bite of cake that day and I think she could have eaten the whole thing!


Her Grammy (my mom) bought her a party dress and I put her hair into pigtails because her hair was SO long. She looked like a million bucks! I bought some cute little birthday hats and put one on her. Since she had pigtails, her hat had to go on one side and it was so cute. Just like the backwards baseball cap, the one-sided birthday cone hat will be the new trend. She made that look good!


She got loads of toys and all kinds of bath tub toys too. She plays with everything she got that day. Well, with the exception of some of the books. She tends to tare pages, so we put the books with paper pages up and kept the board books out. She gets so excited about reading books that she can't sit and look at one all the way through once. She has to read them all at the same time.


I guess it doesn't hurt to have lots of toys...well, until you run out of room for them.
