More Birthday Pictures

Our kids were so excited for Scarlett's birthday.  They made sure we kept up with all the usual traditions.

Traditional morning picture at the birthday table:

(She was a little confused)

 But quickly warmed up to the idea.

 Scarlett is so loved by all of her siblings.  They were so excited for her birthday and wanted to help make it special.

 

Everyone (including daddy) wanted her to open all of her presents first thing.  I was able to force, convince everyone to have her only open one present, and save the rest for her party.

 

 

 

I thought she would love this electronic toy phone, that I found, but it was a bit of a disappointment.  It doesn't change volumes and is so soft you can hardly hear it.  She lost interest fast =(

She loved opening a present though =)

 

After Brandon and the kids left for school, I got Scarlett dressed in the birthday outfit Nana bought her, and attempted to take some pictures.  She was till pretty sick and suffering from her double ear infection, so it was quite the task to get some good pictures.  By the end she was so done with it (as you can tell by the last picture) (I just noticed Levi in that picture.  I forgot, that he was home sick that day).

 That night we had a family party.  We had her favorite foods, spaghetti and bread sticks. 

 

 

 

 

Then it was cake time!  Alexis was really disappointed that Scarlett didn't get a huge cake all to herself.  But I thought with her being sick, a little one would be best =)

 

 I think she enjoyed it just fine....

 

 We finished off with opening presents.  She got some fun new toys to play with.  The big kids enjoyed them too, and have been playing with them all week =)

 

 

We love our little Scarly Scar.  Even though she was under the weather her first birthday was a success!
