Weekend 2 of 2...

Gracie & Lyssa - the chaulk artists - drawing birthday cakes...
Lyssa-lou is on a roll, cakes, flowers, lady bugs, teddy bears...
Levi was thoroughly enjoying is ref whistle...show it and showing how it worked...and to the neighbours we say, "you're welcome!" It can't touch the annoying sound of a yappin' dashound or startle you like the "WOOF"s of the 3 Great Danes nearby...
And now she's moved on to her fushia pink hermit crab...
Levi drew some of his family...his Mom is the skinny chick with the big brain on the left who only has 3 fingers!
And this little gal is well accustomed to me pointing this camera at her face...
And she's walking! Don't you love her shirt?!
Looking like a princess...
Mr Sunshine...deep in an Archie...
...sittin' on his Dad's knee while he does exactly the same thing. It is a deep read!

Weekend 1 of 2...

Mom, sibs, G'ma P & Auntie Shan all in helping with Amara's presents...
Lys was watching from 'afar' for a moment with G'pa P...
She's practically had enuf hair to have ponytails since she was born, but it's hard to believe that she's one already and is now a blondie!
Big Sis Lyssa with her wispy hair...
G'ma J & some of her grand babies...Alyssa, Levi & Amara...Levi didn't think at that moment that it was a good idea to have Alyssa come join them or to have his picture taken...can you tell? :o)
The birthday girl opening her presents...
Like father, like son...
Lots of helpers for gift opening...
Oh, and now its like father, like daughter...she was listening to "ROAR"...one of her favourite sounds...
Auntie Shan was there!
And Auntie Lace!
And a real monkey pile...
Revenge of the baby...looks like she's coming to wack her dad on the head...
G'pa J & the littlest Miss...
Squeezin' in a few pages of an Archie before bed...gotta love Levi's comfy pose her too! Those are big feet for a little guy!

She doesn't walk sideways, but...

Sorry...this video is sideways! The determined little Miss is getting the hang of walking...and this fall almost sounds like it should hurt, but up she got again...

Hope you had a great birthday party 'Lyssa & a super day!

'Mara is o*N*e!

" Hmmmm, this looks like a lion...Raaaaaaaaarrr!"
(I should've got it on video...)
Yep, she's a strange little duck and her favourite animal sound for lions, bears, some dogs and any other animal that she has no idea what sound they make...to her, they all go "RAAAAAAAR"!!
Not looking so impressed at all about this weird candle thing...too funny, she almost looks disgusted!
And once her piece of cake was placed before her she gave her Dad this look that seems to say..."Excuse me, Dad...really...you want me to eat this?!..Really?! I don't even know what this is!?"
"ok, I'll just peck at a little bit of it...slurp, slurp, slurp..."
"YEAHHH...SUGAR! Now that's what I've been looking for!!"
"Uh, oh...just wait a sec...that's real sweet...I need a little water here...hold on..."
(Somehow you'll notice that she managed to get just a bit of icing on her arms.)
"Oh, and Mom...this brown spongy stuff and the brown squiggly stuff...it sure is sticky..."
"And you know what Auntie,...I LIKE IT!"
Happy 1st Birthday Little Sweet Face Amara!
