Freya’s First Birthday Party

Freya was born on a Friday and her first birthday conveniently fell on Saturday. We invited our friends the Prentice’s over for dinner and had a small party to celebrate. The main activity was playing with the new water table Freya received as a birthday gift from Mimi and Grandpa Guy. It was a HUGE hit and all the kids enjoyed it. Here she is with her birthday table cloth and birthday dress from Mimi She had lots of help blowing out her candle Freya really put on a show with her birthday cake. She teased us at first dipping her finger in the whipped cream to taste it and then dabbing it on her nose. “Oh is this whipped cream? Hmmm I guess I’ll try a taste. It is my birthday after all, but I’m really not one to over indulge”Eventually though she forgot about the camera and cheering crowd and ate with abandon. She focused on efficiency employing both hands as utensils and keeping them loaded. She also found that squeezing the cake in her fists maximized the amount of cake she could fit in her mouth.
