On August 7, Marlie turned 1 year old! The kids were excited to celebrate her birthday. Reed said "Wow, she's finally an age". He was also excited because he knows that his birthday comes next in the family birthday order. Marlie had no clue as to the meaning of the day, but she did learn that in this family the tradition is that she gets to eat an entire chocolate cake all by herself, if she can! This is taken when she was just about finished. The kids were still pretty wound up that day. We had just gotten home from out Utah trip and we were still out of whack. I had a hard time getting all three of them to sit still enough for a picture.
Lainey taking a little liberty and having a little bit of cake too.
Back to before she ate the cake. We sang her happy birthday and she loved the lit candle.
She wanted to grab the flame, and wasn't sure about our requests for her to blow it out. She'll have to get that concept next year!
She got very upset at Reed for pulling the candle with the cake attached away so that she didn't burn her fingers on the flame.
But, once she got to dig in to the cake she was happy and gave us a great cake filled smile fit for a first birthday picture!
Marlie, we love you! Its been a great first year with you in our family!
