It was raining when we got up this morning, but it cleared off in time for the party. Guests started arriving at 3 o'clock and it was so exciting to see everyone again, meet new relatives and for everyone to meet Cailin. She did really well to start with, but is nervous around new people, so there were a few minor tears.
This time around, Cailin fully cooperated in the present opening department. She sat on the floor with me and ate tissue paper while I opened her gifts. She got a ton of books, and once she saw those, she didn't have any interest in anything else. She leafed through her new books while the rest of us ooh'd and aahh'd at her beautiful new clothes. Cailin tossed the books aside though when I pulled two stuffed lab puppies out of a bag. She held on to them for a long time considering her usual attention span. She got a movie, money, a toy remote and cell phone, clothes, stuffed animals and more. Cailin was sure spoiled!
Once the presents were done and the cake was getting in order, Grampy took Cailin outside for a breather. She picked herself some flowers from Pammy's hanging basket and Grampy put them in her hair for her.
Now it was time for cake and ice cream! Cailin got a Tinkerbell cake from the local bakery (I'm on vacation so I didn't make it). It was so cute! And delicious. Cailin sat in her highchair and mashed to her heart's content. She also ate a whole pile of it.
Then it was naptime. What a nice party that was! Thank you to everyone for coming and for your beautiful gifts!
