It's My Party and I Can Cry if I Want To

Gabby had her big first birthday party this weekend. It was so nice of 30 of our friends and family to help us celebrate. Gabby had a great time playing with her little friends and sitting on a number of laps. She would have had a SUPER party had she not escaped the sight of our guests and climbed our stairs by herself. She ended up falling down some stairs (we don't know how many) and got quite a bump on her noggin. She is doing fine, though. After her fall, she didn't want to do anything but put her head on my shoulder. So, we opened gifts like that and then she agreed to separate herself from me long enough to stuff herself full of an entire piece of cake. Check out the photos!

Emma and Brianna, Gabby's little gift opening helpers!

One of the few smiles she mustered up while we opened gifts. She really was grateful, though!

Gabby's cake...I do have a photo of the entire cake, but it's on my other camera.

Brianna played with Gabby and improved her icky mood!

The beginning of cake eating...not so happy, but happy enough to put her finger in her nose.

Still not thrilled, but apparently loves the purple icing.


Things started to look up...

Jack and his friend, Buddy, my parents' new dog.
