For Jordyn's birthday, I took her to the park to play and to feed the ducks. She loved the swings but wasn't so sure about the ducks. I think her sister had the most fun;)
There were a ton of ducks and they were not shy!!! There were these huge ones that would just take the bread out of my hand. Unfortunately, one got Makenna right on the hand which she did not appreciate very much. There were a ton of turtles around sunbathing too.
That night it was just Travis, Makenna and I and we got a cake for her to try out. She picked at it for a few minutes and thought it was pretty good but got uninterested pretty quickly.
Then, Saturday was our big party day!! We decided to have everyone over to our house for Jordyn's party. It was a great turnout with a total of 25 people that showed up (and it was all family!!). I'm so glad that our girls' birthdays are at good times of the year because we were able to have people inside and out!! We barbecued burgers and hot dogs and my dad made his yummy potato salad!! I don't think Jordyn knew what was going on with all these people at her house but when she started to figure out that these were her family, she finally relaxed and had fun.
Party time!!! What a beautiful birthday girl!! And her sister had a blast with all of her cousins!
Her cakes. Travis started cutting into the one at the top before I got to take a pic. The bottom two were made by her Grandma. Thanks Grandma!!
She hates getting into her highchair now so she made it a little difficult to get her to stop crying long enough for her to realize that we were giving her cake!! It was pretty much the same as the other night. She picked at it for a few minutes and then she was done!!! O-well. I guess my girls just hate getting dirty;) The bottom pics are of her finally happy in the sink getting clean.
Pinata time. We didn't have anything to hang it up on so I just held it while they took turns pulling those strings. The kids went crazy after that candy!! And yes, those beautiful Asian girls are part of our family too;)
Present time!! She made out big time!! It was like Christmas for J.J.Ü Thank you everyone for coming and sharing our baby's first birthday with us. I love that we have so much family so close.
