Afterwords, we moved onto presents. Cassandra had a fun time opening the presents. I present the following as a sample of how much fun she had and how entertaining she was.
To me, it looks like she has just sat in her new car and is reading the instruction manual. After careful reading, she tries out her new car and is excited at how it responds.
Next, it is time for the traditional first birthday cake massacre. Mommy has made Cassandra her own cake while the rest of us got something smaller than the size of our heads: Cupcakes!
And here is Cassandra destroying said cake...
She did eat a little ice cream as well. She eventually just grabbed the whole scoop from Mommy. She didn't seem to mind the cold at all, either holding the cold scoop of ice cream or eating it.
Here is a short video. I can't wait to show this to her date when he comes to pick her up for prom.
And a few final pictures documenting just how messy a 1-year-old can be. Cassandra is now playing with what is left of the cake.
Mommy takes it away to prevent the mess from getting any worse and to document how much is left. (Note: We did put down a drop cloth under the high chair and the high chair's cover is machine washable.)
And here is the silly monkey showing off afterwords. She didn't intentionally use the cake as shampoo, it just looks that way.
We did clean her off without using Grandpa Wendel's suggestion of a garden hose (although it was tempting and the weather was nice out). However, she still smelled like sugar afterword. Given my experience working in a donut shop, this really didn't surprise me. After bidding her guests adieu, she did get a bath and we removed a bit more cake from her left ear and her nose. Another story for the prom date is about the piece of cake that was going in and out of her nose as she was breathing. Ah, good times.
