Presents and Presence

No Birthday party would be complete without presents and guests.

Aunt Ginger was so thoughtful and got Claire a present too. She gave her a jump rope and some princesses.

Auntie Aiy ai showed Claire how it was done.

And tried to help Claire learn how too.

We might need to wait and try again in a couple of years.

A fire truck from Aunt Cindy and Uncle Keith.

And a little red car from Cousin Blake.

A computer from Aunt Ginger.

That Claire was interested in too.

A tow truck and car from Grandma & Pa.

And a Winnie the Pooh Lego set that he liked a lot more once we got it out of the box.

A picture with Cousin Blake. He was on his way to the 9th grade prom!

Giving hugs.

Uncle Keith and Aunt Cindy.

New sandbox tools!

He didn’t like this one . . .

until he opened it.

Books from Auntie Aiy ai.

Looking at the books.

Alec in his new chair from Grammy and Gramps. He so perfectly hides his name, doesn’t he?

Grandma and Pa with the birthday boy all ready for bed.

Good night snuggles with Grammy and Gramps.

All in all a very successful 1st Birthday!

Happy Birthday Alec!
