We spent most of Ruth's birthday morning relaxing. She was a champ and took a great nap in the afternoon. When she woke up we had cake and opened presents. I'm not big on the baby eating an entire cake and making a mess, but we got a free 6-inch cake with our order since it was a first birthday. So, Ruth got it and loved it. Grandma Hanks, Aunt Megan, and cousin Isaak were also able to be here, so that was extra fun!
 |
| Ruth loves music, so it seemed appropriate to have a music cake. |
 |
| Fascinated by the flame, just like a typical one-year-old! |
 |
| Thoroughly confused by our singing...again, pretty typical. |
 |
| Me blowing out the candle before she grabs it! |
 |
| She immediately grabbed a music note and dug right into the cake. |
 |
| And she just kept going... |
 |
| And going... |
 |
| And going! |
 |
| She wasn't very interested in her presents. |
 |
| Just Isaak's plane. |
 |
| Brian tried to entice her with flying tissue paper, but to no avail. |
 |
| Wes and Sydney had a great time gather the wrapping and tissue paper and throwing it in the air! |
 |
| Grandma Hanks and the birthday girl! |
 |
| Ruth ready to go for a ride on her new birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa Hanks! |
 |
| Our little family ready to walk/ride around the block! |
