Fireworks and Birthdays

We enjoyed having my parents, two of my sisters, and my niece RuthAnne visit this week so that we could celebrate Mya's birthday. Dad brought some sparklers for us to enjoy and as you can see Gabe thought they were pretty neat! He was a little scared of them popping on him so Nae and Dad had the idea of letting him hold them through a styrofome cup and as you can see it worked pretty well.
I guess birthday parties for those turning one year old are really more for the parents who can't believe their little baby is to this point already. Mya did have a nice party on Friday night, though and as you can see especially seemed to enjoy the beautiful butterfly cake that Kristin made her.
