Turning One

Happy Birthday to you!!!! Lexi turned one while in the states so we had a birthday celebration for her. It was a great time. There were presents, pin the tail on the giraffe, party hats and lots of cake an ice cream; what little girl wouldn't have a great time with all that.

Lexi had a great time opening her presents. She was a little slow at first but once she figured it out she became the unwrapping master.


She even opened her card from Grandma-Great-Smith. She was a little puzzled by the money. She actually threw it on the ground. Oh, if she only knew.

After the Presents came the cake. I decided that for her first birthday I wanted to make her cake and what could I make but a giraffe. Sadly however I was unable to find a giraffe pan or even a pattern so I had to get creative. It took a good hour and a half to make but I thought it turned out pretty cute; at least for an armature.

Leave it to Alexia to want a fork for her first birthday cake.

But don't worry, even with the fork in hand she still dug right in.

We finally got the fork away from her and then the real fun began.

Yes, she is puckering up. Once she was completely covered in chocolate she looked at me expectantly and puckered right up.

All in all it was a great B-day
