My First Big Bash
Home Up

 

Keeping in line with the ducky theme, my first birthday party was held at Olander Park.
There's a pretty little lake there, with lots of duckies and geese waddling around.

Happy Birthday Beautiful Girl!

Jenine called the duck "beebee" (baby!)

Quack-quack quack-quack quack-cock-a-doodle-doo!

Noona ate non-stop the entire party... baby food, strawberries, veggies, cake, a hot dog, olives, pasta, ...

How many guys does it take to get a grill started?

Happy birthday dear Jenine... Happy birthday to you! Ooh sa sa sa, ooh sa sa sa, hit her in the head with a big kielbasa -- gooooo Jenine!

Party moved to the west side of the shelter house, away from the lake and on the warmer asphalt.

Cheer Bear! She's bigger than Jenine!

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...

Silly hat and boots from mama...
