Birthday Party Pictures At Last!

Here are some of the moments we captured during Meg's first birthday party! Many thanks to Dad (a.k.a. Grandpop) for bringing the fancy-schmancy camera and getting some good ones!

When we brought the cake out, Meg stared at it for a few minutes. Then she did what all of us secretly long to do when we see a brightly colored cake with thick, rich frosting: she plunged her hands into it.


"Hmmm... what is this stuff?"


"I better give it a taste test."


"Blech! Too sweet!"


"Maybe just one more test..."


"Nope, I definitely don't like this stuff."


Messy hands!
