Melanie is 1!

We were honored to host the Baileys Friday night and we all enjoyed watching Luke parade around the house and eat everyone's food! The kids seemed to enjoy snuggling up together in the bed or on the couch. Nothing like some good cousin time with Camden and Luke! And then it was off early Saturday morning to Tampa for Melanie's 1st Birthday Bash! Katie and Brian threw the best party for her at Lettuce Lake Park-plenty of shade, playground equipment, little people and good food! Grandma Mona even brought Easter eggs for hunting! Wyatt, Wil, Ramona and Elsie really wanted cake badly and were pleased to eat delicious Care Bear cake while we all watched Melanie put on a show! She seemed to enjoy it too! Her Daddy licked the icing off her cheeks for her and then we opened presents! Harry (Brian's dad) made the cutest purple rocking horse for Melanie. We were winding down but decided to take a nature walk over to the boardwalk across the lake. We saw alligators, huge snail and snail eggs and turtles. The drive back was quick and we made tacos and watched Night at the Museum 2 before crashing! The Baileys left us on Sunday and the house got (relatively!) quiet again! Happy Birthday Melanie!!
