The first celebration was a cousin's dinner at Uncle Larry and Aunt Raili's last Sunday (they always have a gathering each fast Sunday of the month to celebrate the birthdays that month). So that's when Siena got to try cake for the first time. Actually, on that one, she was more interested in the strawberries. She grabbed a strawberry in one hand, some frosting in the other, mixed them together and went for it! This girl know what she likes!
These pictures are from Siena's birthday party on Saturday, where a bunch of friends got together and we had a grand time, playing "hot bug" (like hot potato, but with a giant ladybug ball), we had a cake walk, and we played put the spot on the ladybug. My sister Melissa helped me make the ladybug cupcakes (thanks, Meliss!), and we had lots of fruit and ladybugs on a log (with craisins on celery with peanut butter). Siena really liked her ladybug cupcake, once she figured out what it was and what she wass supposed to do with it, but her favorite part was seeing everyone gathered around her as she opened up the presents. She kept waving at everybody and clapping! I'd say that overall, the party was a big hit!
