McKenna had a great first birthday, attended by almost 50 people. She thanks each and every one of you for coming!

I just woke up, and realized I have balloons!

Hey, when I pull on the string, the balloon gets closer to me!

Umm, good morning Momma

Da Da, I don't want to take a bath...

Here are my cousins Emily and Michael (I have a lot of cousin Michaels, it seems)

Whoa! Look at all these kids who came to play with me. Let's see, there's Ben, David, Zachary, Perry, Me and Amber. Yay!!

This is Clara. She's my cousin too. And that's Spongebob, he's not my cousin.

Hi Spongebob! Let's see how you taste.

Very minimal carnage. So far.

Mmmm, Spongebob tastes pretty good. I need more of that.

Ok, let's start slowly here...

I think I can handle this, this is good.

Momma, Daddy gave me some cake, can I have it? Is it ok if I get a little messy?

Eh, who cares what Momma says, I'm eating this cake!

Oh this cake is so good! And here's my friend Amber

MORE CAKE!! MORE CAKE!!

Look at all those presents!!

Hmm, Clara stays so neat when she eats cake. That's no fun.

Yeah, I like clothes too Momma, but this is Spongebob

I have a lot of helpers with opening my presents. That's Chuck, Momma, and Emily and Clara with their backs turned.

I got my own purse? Daddy, I need some money to go shopping.

I thought the story was THREE little pigs.

I'm sure you remember my cousin David. He made me cry at my baptism, and then I made him cry at his birthday party. Well today, I'm winning the best of three!

Hey David, look, is that a cookie?

He falls for it every time! I win!!!

Ok, Momma, I'll make up nice with him.

Round 4, Steel Cage Match!!!

And finally at the end of my great birthday, it's bath time. Daddy and I have our bubble beards. Yay!!
