Rachel's Birthday Extravaganza: Part 1

You all know from Pinterest and current culture that your child's first birthday is really important. The second birthday or the first birthday for the third child, not so much.

None of those Pinterest Moms love their first child as much as I do. Rachel is having three birthday celebrations. Pin it and compete with me.

My parents and sister were in town a weekish ago so we, of course, celebrated Rachel's birthday. And Andrew's too a little.

Not so sure about this presents thing.

She opened this dress and held it up and it was so funny.

A wagon! "Quick, some assembly is required, Dad!"

Cousins. This trip was fun because they actually interacted with each other, unlike two months ago.

"I WANT MY CUPCAKE!"

A delicious red velvet cupcake made with beets and topped with classily spread cream cheese frosting.

They were delicious. Rachel isn't much of a cake smasher/smearer. She is very dainty and wants the food in her belly.

"Dad, you have got to try this."

And in the morning, Nigel pushed Rachel around in her wagon. So cute.

Happy first birthday party to my sweet little Rachel!
