The Big Party

We'll have pictures of Rachel's 1st birthday party soon. I just wanted to say that it was so fun. Obviously, she didn't realize that everyone was celebrating her, but she enjoyed the commotion of everyone. We had a lot of food, music, presents, and friends. She'll love to see it all through a nice scrapbook someday! :) I think her favorite things the day after to play with are (1) the balloons from the party, (2) Limbo Elmo from Mom and Dad, (3) The Wiggles movie from Grandma Cindy, and (4) food matching game from Aunt Jan. She can only play with so much in one day. The other fun things are in her toy box waiting for her. We are very excited for her new books especially her new Quiet Book from Aunt Melinda (very impressive). Maybe they will give us a bit more variety so that we don't have to read Elmo Loves You again. :)

Thanks everyone for coming and sharing Rachel's first birthday with us. I can't believe that she is 1 year old. Amazingly, it really was a fast year, and she has grown and learned so much. We love to watch her as she becomes a brilliant little lady.
