Daniel's First Birthday

Happy Birthday to my nephew, Daniel.  Today he turned 1 year old.  Warning - this post is a little picture heavy - Daniel has family on several continents that will be seeing these photos.  Here's a picture of Laura, Rana and the birthday boy!

Here's Dad (aka Papaw) wearing his party hat.

Laura didn't like his hat very much.  Just after I took this picture she took it off of his head.  Actually, she snapped it off of his head.  Poor Dad - OUCH! 

Here's our birthday boy...

Nana and Papa, or as I like to call them, Mom and Dad. 

 Daniel was starting to get hungry here...

Daniel got a toy dog for his birthday.  He loved it.

Rana is teaching Laura how to play with one of Daniel's new toys.  

Daniel also got a new refrigerator toy

Laura didn't like the "big" light on.  She kept turning it off all night.  That made it a little difficult for those of us trying to take pictures!

Here's a picture of a birthday bear that Daniel's Aunt Yolla and cousins Christel, Richard and Carol sent him all the way from their home in Marseille, France.  This bear sings the "Happy Birthday" song.  Daniel loved it so much.  He even sang along! 

We are all singing Happy Birthday here...

I think Daniel is wishing that mom would hurry up with the cake. 

His first taste of birthday cake!

 Laura is kissing Aunt Julie. 

 Aunt Julie is spinning Laura.  Laura LOVES to spin. 

Daddy and Laura.  Or, as I like to call him, Kevin. 

 Daddy and Daniel. 

 Uncle Scott is holding the happy birthday boy. 

 The men folk: 

 The End. 

Well, this is actually the end of the first out of three family birthdays this week.  Dad's birthday is Friday and Rana's birthday is Sunday.  That's a lot of cake.
