Happy Birthday!

Maya turned 1 on January 12th!  We had planned to celebrate with the family on the 11th, but the weather disagreed.  She finally got her birthday party on the 18th.  We had a great day!  There were trucks, books, balloons, instruments, and POLKAS.
Maya was not too interested in the unwrapping (although at home she LOVES ripping and eating her way through papers and magazines???).  Mommy helped her unwrap, and she was happy to play with her new goodies. 
Aunt Geri MADE Maya a very special bear.  At first Maya was stunned by its size, but upon realizing how cuddly and soft it was she repeatedly exclaimed "Oh!" - and passed him around the room for everyone to see.
Even Grandma-ma got a turn with Oh-Bear

Mmmmm.....carrot cake

Birthday Snowplay

My birthday got snowed out!  Daddy took me sledding instead.  It's hard to hang on when you're all bundled up!
Daddy likes when I'm bundled up because it slows me down.
How can I make a snow angel if I am immobilized 
in this snowsuit?

That was tiring!

Mama gives me smooches on my birthday.
