Lorelei’s Birthday!!

by bosssanders on April 13, 2008 with 7 comments

Friday, Baby L got some mail (just in time for her birthday) from her great-grandparents.  My Ma (we call them Ma and Pa) had had surgery (kidney removed, actually) not too long ago and wasn’t quite feeling up to the party.  So, she sent a card and money…and here’s L with it on her Birthday Eve (and yes, I totally just made that word up).

Lorelei loves money, but as you can see…not as much as she does her cards.  ;)

Happy First Birthday, Baby Girl!!  Look what mommy and daddy got you!

A Crayola Colorfall Sudsworks!  –I’ll review this one later…but let’s just say I am NOT happy with it.  Crayola is about to get a nice and lovely letter.

This look.  Yep, that’s pretty much the look we got while singing her Happy Birthday.  She wasn’t quite sure what was going on.
