Sydney's Birthday

Look at this sweet birthday girl!

We had a little mini birthday celebration for Sydney on Thursday night. It was really fun. Both the girls thought the balloons were pretty cool. Who would have known 2 bucks worth of balloons would provide so much entertainment?

 Then, of course we had to whip out our super cute birthday hat from Aunt Mac.

This sequence needs a little explaining:

Sydney was super impressed with my signing skills

And she was memorized by the candle

But she wasn't so impressed when she figured out you weren't supposed to put the flame out with your hand. :( Poor baby girl.

No worries though, she bounced back quickly...

And did some serious damage to that cupcake!

Here's a video of her figuring out what the whole cake thing was all about

After cake we opened a couple of presents.

Sydney really liked the ribbon on the present that came from Great Grandma and Papa Summers.

Cameron was very excited to show off Sydney's new backpack.

And when all the excitement was over, it was time to kick back and relax in the rocking chair.

Next weekend is the official first birthday party. I'm excited it should be fun!
