Birthday Blues!

We started the weekend with high fevers...
So, we were obligated to cancel Graci's first ever birthday party.
Poor thing has been coughing, sneezing & basically spending her weekend rather lethargic in Mommy or Daddy's arms. She has truly been miserable. But, after her nap this afternoon, it seemed she may have turned a corner. So, we decided to attempt a party... just the 4 of us! CC & I had already made cupcakes and Ben had a meal planned. So, the party was on!

She wasn't too sure about her cake, but eventually sampled!

After a bath, she opened her gifts. The first was finger puppets! Still unsure.

She didn't understand the "opening" portion of gifts, but there was a large improvement from Christmas as she didn't eat any of the paper! Wahoo! She hit the above gift like a drum and found it most entertaining! So, fun was still had as we fought of "Bugs". Everyone was to bed early tonight, so I hope that we all sleep well. Turning ONE is exhausting!

So glad she liked the finger puppets. :) Makes me happy to hear that it was a good choice.
Poor Graci. Good thing she won't remember being sick on her first ever birthday!
