Lori's first First Birthday present!

Lorelei received her first birthday gift in the mail yesterday courtesy of cousins Nick and Nate (but really Kim and Serge).

She loved the "CD Player" and managed to tote it around the entire house while bopping to the music. I had to pry it out of her hands to get her to eat dinner.

Once she saw the present in the box she started squealing and trying to take it from me. It took all of her patience to wait till I had opened it.

Once mommy got it out of the box:

You can't tell, but she is dancing in place:

Getting ready for bed (she wouldn't give it up!):

Thank you Aunt Kim. (She will send her own crayon drawn thank you card soon!)

Oh my gosh. She is almost 1!

And so the countdown begins.... Lorelei will be one on the 28th and we have so much planning to do to get ready for her first birthday party.
I can't believe its here already. It's amazing how fast time flies.
We went to a party this past weekend for a couple of our friends who got married (and whose little girl is due in June!) and Lori had a field day with the wedding cake. We got some really cute pictures and I will post them when I get home.
Other than that we have just been really really busy. Its amazing how much there is to do with a house and a baby and jobs.
It never seems to end...
