Mikayla's party

Our families came yesterday to help us celebrate Mikayla's adoption finalization and while they were all here we decided to celebrate Mikayla's 1st birthday as well.
I think Mikayla really wondered what all the excitement was about. Mikayla got lots of presents and of course as most one-year-olds she would rather eat the wrapping paper, the tissue paper and in this picture the hanger from a new outfit.Daddy is trying to get the paper out of her mouth but Mikayla thought it was oh so tasty.A nice clean baby before she digs into her cake.Mikayla is a great eater but lately as we have been trying to get her to put puffs or cereal in her mouth on her own she just won't do it. It is actually kind of funny, she puts her hands up and refuses to take any food. So we weren't really sure what she would do with a birthday cake. Again she has a look that sort says what is all the fuss about.She thought maybe she would try just a little.She kind of got into, with the help of Jennifer. I don't think she really ate any cake though, just sort of smeared frosting all over her face!
After all the mess it was time for a quick bath!After a busy and exciting day our sweet little girl was just exhausted. She could not keep her eyes open, the poor little girl.
What a great day for our family! Mikayla officially became ours and we got to celebrate her first birthday (a little early). Thanks for helping us celebrate family, it was a great day!
