First Birthday Party

Believe it or not, we did not take many photos today. We have plenty of good photos to come...as today was also our last photo shoot with Leslie. That and Violet had a crew of grandpopparazi following her around throughout the day.

Here are some gems that were captured.

The favor tags that I made. I totally stole the idea from a friend of a friend, here.


First note the bottom circle. The cupcake has been altered...and by altered, I mean licked. I have photographic evidence (actually, Jackie has it) leading me to believe that the culprit is a one Ms. Virginia.


Virginia's sister, Ella, was also on hand. Today Ella will be playing the part of "kid who is most disinterested in confetti." Click on the photo for a larger version where you can fully see the disinterest.

Mimi, Elizabeth's daughter, will play the role of "wtf is that kid doing?"


And then we see the mastermind behind Mimi's weirdness is M2.0. No surprise there.



Violet had a great birthday party. The hit of the party was the balloon launcher we received from Jim, Steph and Liam. That thing is so awesome. Guess what every kid we know is getting for Christmas?

Once again we were amazed by the borderline obscene generosity of our friends and family. We'll be posting more photos of gifts later. Today was a long, great day.

Maybe it is coincidence, maybe it is not, but as of today, Violet now likes to fake laugh. It took exactly one family gathering where she could understand what's going on to pick up fake laughing. She is a genius.
