Happy First Birthday, Jane!!!

Major partying in the Clendenin home yesterday, as Graeme and Jane both were dedicated at church and had bday parties! My sweet baby Jane is a year old! I really truly can't believe it. In so many ways, this year has FLOWN by. We also celebrated Graeme's bday, which is actually the 29th; simply b/c all of the family would already be here for the dedication and Jane's party. We had a wonderful ceremony at church. I love that all of our children were dedicated by their grandfather. That is a neat experience.

We also had a great time at the party, even though the Carthage Fire Department is definitely on my "naughty" list for Christmas! We had scheduled a fire station tour for part of G's celebration, and the fire fighters never showed. frown I am still waiting to hear from the chief this afternoon! ha Graeme didn't seem too sad though, b/c Granddaddy gave everyone a hay ride through the neighborhood as a surprise! Thank you so much, Daddy. It was a huge hit! G is definitely loving the present aspect of gifts these days too. ha

Jane obviously was just along for the ride; but she is a total ham. She loved the attention, and LOVED her cake. I think I have another sweets lover on my hands. It must go with the name! wink She is our only child that ate the whole cupcake. ha Thank you to all who came and your thoughtfulness with your gifts! After the party, we met up with Mr. and Mrs. Binkley who had just gotten back from their honeymoon. It was great to hear all about their wonderful trip. Thanks for coming to visit!

Good morning, 1 year old!

I LOVE this one. "Come on people, pictures this early?!" ha


First bday snuggles

I ran out of black icing for the wheels. frown Oh well... G didn't seem to mind too much. wink

Ready for the hay ride!

Jane has "fluttered" into one!

I'm so glad Mikayla and Holly got to come for the day!


Graeme jumped up in the front of the trailer like he was King! ha It was pretty humorous!






Yum... this is pretty good!


Look at this face! ha
