The Party! (the weekend before my birthday)

The day started with the perfect outfit. I'm wearing the same jacket Daddy wore on his first birthday! It was a little tight through the shoulders. Even though I'm little, I'm way more buff than my daddy was!

Here's the banner to set the theme--Puppies! Just like my room! Maybe next year I'll be really into something and decide on my own theme!! I really like Maverick, so puppies were good for this year.

I woke up to find my new swingset in the family room. It was just like Christmas morning! My favorite part was the straps on the swing!Ok, Mav and I are ready...where are all the presents?! Here I go!
I didn't need much help!!!

Here are all the partiers!
It was a beautiful day to grill out...sorry Poppy and Grandma in Ohio!! We were thinking about you in 21 inches of snow!!We lit the birthday candle from Poppy & "Mom", my Florida grandparents. Daddy told me how it works--I burn one year off every year for 21 years, and then I'm left with a stump. See Daddy's stump next to my candle? Mommy liked this idea because I have to spend my 21st birthday with my parents so I can burn the last number. She says that'll keep me out of trouble, whatever that means!!
