Our fifth FIRST birthday!

Delia's 1!!!
 
For her first birthday, we had a tea party. Finger sandwiches, chips, grapes, and apple slices.
  Here is her tea party cake.

 And her tea party dishes.
 J.J. asserts his growing up capabilities.
 Delia ate her cake (a little). She mostly just grabbed the cake by the handfuls and then acted disgusted before she shook her hand like a wet dog to get off the yuckies. Needless to say, we had our hands full without cameras for this part.
 
Here she is opening her present from grammy and pappy Ford.
Originally this was going to be an Alice in Wonderland whimsical tea party party. I had cut and frosted and fondanted :) a mad hatter shaped bottom layer and it was sitting on the counter while Conference was on. While we were listening and watching the leaders of our church speak, someone sneaked downstairs and got their grubby little hands on the cake. I won't say who... but I think you call can guess anyway. Ah, ah, ah-chooase!

She's a doll! Your cakes are really cute. The tea party theme is fun. I like the pictures of your family. I like seeing your home. It looks happy and comfortable.

Great video taping by JJ! Those rascals all took Delia's birthday toy! Those boys better take good care of their little sis. ;)
