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 am slowly getting all my pictures and videos and such organized...in doing so I realized over the past year how much I didnt get to post. This first video was taken the morning of Michaela's first birthday and the second the other day on her second! Babies grow up way too quickly! Now I hope I can get a video like this each year! :)
