On Monday morning Sophia and Richie came out of their bedroom and Sophia exclaimed, "It's Gwace's boowt day!" They have been very excited about her birthday for a couple weeks, and were obviously very anxious for it to arrive, so on her actual birthday they were happy to help her open the presents they picked out for her. Richie picked a little purple cheetah, I think cheetahs might be his favorite animal at the moment, and Sophia got her a stuffed mermaid doll.
Later in the day we went swimming.
Richie and Sophia both had Carvel ice cream cakes for their first birthdays and I was a little sad that I wasn't going to be able to carry on the tradition. Then I discovered that Walmart has Carvel cakes and I was so happy. It wasn't as fresh as the ones we had in Jersey, but it was okay, and I was happy to not have to make a cake.
Grace approved of her cake, too.
After cake, the kids helped Grace open more presents.
Grace just wanted the mallet to come off the xylophone.
And Sophia just wanted the xylophone for herself.
Eventually she got the hang of it and seemed happy about the toy. It was a good day, and we were happy to celebrate our little one.

Rachel did EXACTLY the same thing as Sophia today (the big pout) while Tyler was opening her presents. I have a photograph to prove it. I will post later. :-)
Love the blue mouth!
