Birthday Gifts

Hey everyone

I had a great first birthday and I got a lot of new toys. And they started arriving before my birthday.

A few days ago, I got Lily in the mail. She is teaching me how to count in both spanish and engligh and she sings so I get to dance. I love her and hug her a lot..Thanks Auntie Lesley and Uncle Mike. I wish I could hug you in person

Here I am anxiously awaiting this thing called presents. I didn't know what that meant. Now I do. I love presents
Look, I got a box to climb
Waiting patiently for Daddy to put together my gift

I got bored so I went to open more gifts. Auntie Sue made me 2 more animals for my zoo. She made me 2 elephants (I already have 2 hippos, 2 lions and 2 giraffes from Auntie Sue). The elephants came with kazoos. I love my kazoos. i went to sleep with one and took it to school today
My Tia Claudia, Uncle Albert and Cousin Sofia and Luca sent me a ton of barrettes for my hair and a mural for me to hang on my wall. Very cute. They also bought my cute white dress.
Stop laughing at me mom!
Daddy got me some drums and cymbals. Check me out. I am rockin out


I also opened gifts from my cousins Sebastian and Isabelle. Sebastian made me a card that I loved. Isabelle also made me some art. They also sent me some toys. I have been hugging the stuffed animal and playing a lot with the cars. Vroom vroom. And the cute white shoes you see in the photos are also courtesy of the Boysen Lopez family

I then got tired from all the excitement so I went to sleep. When I woke up this morning, daddy had finally finished putting together my tractor/car. I love it

I can ride it
and push it
Thanks everyone. I am glad you all didn't listen to my parents when they said "No Gifts"

On Saturday is my birthday party. Mom said something about cake and sugar. I don't know what either these things are, but it sounds exciting. I look forward to it

I was looking for that big Lily for my Lily. All she has is a small Lily that sings numbers.

I love the barrettes they are so cute! Ellie doesn't look too happy about them.

:D

Target...my friend sent a gift receipt. And my sister sent E like 30 different barrettes for E's wisps of hair. So Ellie won't be happy A LOT
