Ruthie's Big B-Day Party!

Yay! Look at all the people that helped me celebrate my first birthday!

Various cousins and little friends playing "Hot Potato"...
The huddled masses yearning for cake....
More masses being huddled...
Caleb says "My tiny belly needs some cake!" in his own special way.
Auntie Eileen making the balloon animals. This one is a, well, I don't know what that is. What is this Mommy?
Cousin Thomas and Cousin Will help me read a new book!
Uhm, pardon me. I'm trying to read here.
Reading is also a very tactile experience.

Daddy helping out with the pinata. Notice the hard hat. Daddy went to the safety briefing before the party.
Daddy looking all smug that he didn't get hurt during the post-pinata frenzy.
A laughing attempt to pin the crown on me!
Cake!!!!!
