Charlotte and Andrew planned a big celebration at the park for Daphne’s first birthday.
We had a great time even though some of the family were late (including me). They prepared lots to eat and everyone participated, bringing salads and other parts of the dinner. Daphne seemed to know that something special was happening. We had baked chicken, salads, chips, drinks, fruit, and of course, Birthday Cake! Daphne got her own cake and for the first time found out what that gooey icing tastes like. At first she got it on her hands and didn’t know what to do, but as soon as she tasted it she was happy to be eating the cake with her hands, not just playing with this “stuff”. She was unhappy with her gifts only because she wanted to play with a few of them but had to open others and did not understand. We think her favorite gift was a ball she got from her other grandparents.
