Alicia's 1st Birthday Party...and more!!!

We celebrated Alicia's upcoming birthday with a party in the park today. We were very fortunate, because there has been some rain all weekend, but we got a sunny day. Just a little bit of wind, but that never hurt anyone. We had a good time getting Alicia's friends and family together to celebrate, and Alicia had a blast!!
Alicia's favorite little boy, Bryce, climbed the tree with a little help from his daddy, Graham. I caught Ken and Silvia getting close to stay warm!
Vanessa was busy texting a special fireman that we are all dying to meet.
Sienna came prepared for a Chicago style winter storm.
Susan and Dylann enjoyed the playground and food.
This is Alicia in the car when we picked up the balloons...she just sat holding one with the most content little face we had ever seen.

Here Alicia is showing off her little party hat...it didn't last long. She enjoyed swinging with her friends.

This is Alicia earlier this week, she was getting ready for the big day by hanging out in her birthday suit. This is her new thing. During changing time she tries to make a mad break for it and play naked as long as she can. We got to see Uncle Wes when he was in town recently. This was a lot of fun for Alicia as she got to explore his hotel room, but all business for Alex and Wes, as Alex tested Wes's ability to teach and use his accounting skills to work on Alex's accounting homework. Thanks Wes...is that why you haven't called to tell me that you are back in town?...you don't want to do any more homework?
