Happy First Birthday, Bekah Mae!

Rebekah Mae made it to one year! And so did all of the rest of us! Wow! It seems to have flown by so quickly. Here are some highlights from her birthday party! We had such a great time with family and friends in our new clubhouse. It was nice not having it in our own house...there's so much more room to romp and play in the gathering area. See? Shawn had time for wrestle mania!


The kids really enjoyed playing ping pong and fooseball downstairs while the adults got things ready upstairs. So much fun!


I guess Bekah's going to have Christmas themed birthdays for a long time. A cupcake tree seemed like the easiest way to go. I don't have to cut cake and everyone seemed to enjoy a unique idea! Bekah loved her very own "smash" cake. John blew out her candle (thank you, big brother).


The presents were a hit too...especially with everyone else! Kelsey kept running off with the baby doll and John wanted to go get his Spider-Man Christmas presents to put under the little tree where we stashed all of Bekah's presents. He thought it would be fun to open his presents too. Poor guy just doesn't understand.


Bekah loved the truck...as did the other boys present. The monkey ball was a hit. Poor cousin Rian kept saying, "Mine." since we got him the same thing for his first birthday. The box that held Bekah's new church shoes was a huge hit! The puff balls for the snowmen grabbed her attention. It was all I could do to encourage her to look inside the box. Even then, she wanted to finger those snowmen. They were awesome! Thanks, Great Grams!


And here's the only picture we could get of her in her new Christmas romper. Poor kid, looks like she's had plenty of birthday for one year! Thank you, everyone, for helping us have a memorable first birthday for our little Bekah Mae Mae.
