September 26, 2008!
Cyanne had a good birthday: She spent the morning with Mommy at home, enjoyed a nice, long nap, ate some cheese, apricots, and oatmeal and then went to daycare to hang out with her new little friends and caretakers. They sang her happy birthday in the afternoon. She apparently spent her afternoon (in addition to a 30 minute nap) trying hard to climb up the stairs of a little climbing structure they have in the daycare center... I think some of the older boys are rubbing off on her =).
Mommy picked her up at 4:30 and we drove home to get ready for her big birthday dinner.
Daddy then got home and we drove to The Beachside to meet Grandma and Grandpa for dinner.
Here are a few photos of the evening:
Someone is a happy birthday girl!
(Check out the beautiful view! Another gorgeous Santa Barbara day, just for Cyanne)
The sun set while we ate dinner. The view of the Goleta Pier and UCSB and Goleta Beach.
Cyanne is playing with Daddy's birthday present - a 5 fairway wood from C&J. That pretty much completes his full set of golf clubs!
Cyanne's 1st birthday dessert - vanilla ice cream and one candle!
She loved it. Not surprisingly... However, she also discovered that when you grab an entire handful of it, it's pretty cold. She was torn between wanting to eat it very badly and then experiencing a little pain while holding it in her hand... =) She eventually learned and had her fill of ice cream. We finished with quite a dirty face and very sticky hands. But boy, it was sure tasty! (This is where Grandpa would like to take credit for introducing her to ice cream - when she was a lot younger... just like he did to her Mommy...)
Happy Birthday, Cyanne. It has been an incredible, amazing year. We have learned a lot and loved even more. We love you very much and are amazed by you each and every day. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful, beautiful, entertaining, and observant daughter. We look forward to each coming day...
