Morgan's 1st Birthday!!!








Well, it isn't officially Morgan's birthday yet, since she won't be one until Tuesday. We had fun celebrating her day, anyway. You can see the contact dermatitis on her face that I talked about in the earlier post. I hate that her birthday pictures have to show her red cheeks, poor baby. We are going to wait until it clears up before we get the professional ones taken.
Anyway, anyone who has ever been to one of Jaden's parties knows that we make birthdays into a big event. We usually invite around 50 people, and it is a way for us all to get together (if only for once a year). We did the same for Morgan, and as it got closer and closer to her party day, more and more people started telling us that they wouldn't be able to make it. Since we don't ask people to RSVP, we never really know how many people will show up. I am glad Morgan is only 1, because I felt bad when we only had 4 people show up (I will go ahead and name these WONDERFUL folks who came out- Grandma Leslie, Grandpa Lyale, Aunt Audra, and Uncle Clay). Of course, Morgan didn't noticed, but Jaden would have. I guess we will start asking for an RSVP, so we can get a better idea for next year. I have to mention, also, Uncle Kevin, who is away at college called us during the party, so that he could be a part of the festivities.
We had a good time chatting, and eating the food (taquitos, tortilla chips, 7 layer dip, caramel popcorn, and cake).
Morgan was happy to be opening presents. She, also, loved all of the attention that she got. She is now worn out, and sound asleep in her bed. I am about to head to bed myself. Good night!
