Michaela's First Birthday

Since I am posting about Michaela's birthday I thought I would post-post (?) a few things about her big ONE. She was excited about all the family coming over, not so much with the little hat I got her to wear. We had just found out that we were expecting (Brendan) so when we sat down to eat the tradtional first birthday dinner of spaghetti, I told everyone Michaela had a present to open first. I had wrapped a bib I had made when Angelica announced we were expecting Emma that said "I'm A BIG sister". My mom recognized it as soon as Michaela started opening and started screaming. It was a great and fun way to make the announcement, although Michaela was puzzled as to why this bib was such a big deal. She wasnt sure what to do with all the presents but loved cake time! I started making a DELICIOUS Chocolate Carrot Cake for our traditional first birthday cakes...it is so yummy and very moist, has a lot of shredded carrots though! That first year goes by so fast!

I need a break from all this present opening
