We celebrated Marjorie's first birthday with a party on Saturday, July 14th so that family could come and celebrate with us. Brandon spent the day before bbqing all day even in the downpour of rain that came suddenly and we also rented a waterslide for the kids to play in. The weather turned out to be as perfect as you can ask for in July in Texas. Not too hot and it waited to rain until nighttime. Everyone had a wonderful time visiting and watching the kids play in the water. It was so good to have family and neighbors together to join in the festivities. We were especially excited to see my sister Tory and her boyfriend Drew that flew in from Arizona for the occasion and also Brandon's cousin Brian and family who we love, but don't get to see very often.
Marjorie has been teething like crazy lately and was waking up a lot in the nights surrounding party day, so she was a tired girl. Luckily, she napped right before the party began and then we hurried through playing, food, cake, and presents and put her down for her 2nd nap. She was a trooper and enjoyed it even with a runny nose and some hurting gums. She was excited to play in the water with the kids and look around at all the people. She also loved her cake and lots of gifts. She is discovering them more and more now that it is getting back to normal around here.
She also decided to learn to climb the stairs this weekend too, so we are in for some fun now on the baby watching!
