cailin's first birthday celebration

we had a small get together down at a nearby park today
to celebrate cailin's big old birthday. it was
nice to see everyone and have people get
together in honor of cailin. she had no idea, obviously,
but here are the pics from my camera.

yay, presents!!

the cake eating did not go as i thought. i really
thought she'd throw it around and smash it everywhere
and have a grand old time. not the case. i was a bit disappointed.
she acted like she was scared of it. weird.

uh, i don't know about this.

hmmmm, this seems interesting.

i'll clap for cake, i guess.

i hate it, please get me out.

and then this was her telling me she was "all done".
i thought that was cute.
