Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!

Much to the dismay of my two wonderful parents, January 31 was my first BIRTHDAY!!!!!! I'm such a big girl now!! It was a long day for my delivery, for me and my parents and my two grandma's and my Grant! Guess I should mention the doctor and the nurses, too. Everyone waited a long time for me. Now, I really don't remember all this, I couldn't exactly see it. But I had the bruises on the top of my head to prove it after I was born!

Thank you to EVERYONE for the wonderful cards!! My mom said she would keep them in my baby book so that when I get older I can look at them.

And now here's something I didn't know...when you celebrate a birthday, you get to eat this most amazing concoction! I have no clue what it is called, but it's soft to the touch, sweet to the taste and messy as all get out! Here Dad is holding it out in front of me, tempting my taste buds...

After they swiftly removed the open flame (doesn't that below downstairs in the wood stove????) Dad sat the object down in front of me... Grandma was here too and everyone was watching me. What was I supposed to do - eat it???
So I dug in deep with my fingers and brought them to my mouth....

OH.

MY.

GOODNESS.

Lord, thank you for inventing this treat!!!! I had never had anything like it! My mouth is watering even today just remembering it!

I just couldn't get enough of it!!! GIVE ME MORE PLEASE!!!!

Only after all the icing was gone did I realize that my mother had snapped about 132 photos, literally. And trust me, I was much messier than this photo, but since the icing kept going up my nose Dad would clean off my face between every couple of bites...

It was a great birthday and I can't wait for next year to have more icing!!!!!! I love you all, thank you!!!
