Since Sydney's first birthday fell on a weekday, she had the pleasure of having her birthday celebration stretch over 4 days. The morning of her birthday we opened her door to greet her & snap a flash in her face. Poor thing just wakes up and we are already snapping pictures of her (OK, I was snapping the picture- not Brad). But come on...would you not want to mark this day in your child's life with proof that she wakes up a smiley, happy kid 99.9% of the time? Especially when she is 16 years old & is grumpy in the morning refusing to get out of bed? This photo can be a happy reminder to Mommy & Daddy...and appropriate guilt treatment to Sydney.
Then if it wasn't bad enough that we snap a flash in her face before she has a chance to say "Good Morning", we take her down stairs, put a goofy tiara on her head, hold her hands & take her picture. The tiara obviously did not stay long on her head.
My birthday was on the Saturday & I am still selfish enough to want my birthday to be "my birthday". So, Sydney's party was on the Sunday. There was food, cake, fun, and more fun. I think all the kids had a great time & it was great that all of Sydney's cousins could share her special day.
Regan was here for the whole weekend, so she helped us get Sydney ready for the party.
Sydney is more than happy to pose for pictures, but it is more fun with her cousins Tyler, Regan, Brooke, and Bailey.
Sydney's cousin Max came to the party too & had a swim with Sydney in the afternoon.
