Hapa Birthday to me - part deux

So many people came to see me while I was in North Carolina! And since it happened to be my birthday, we had some people over to celebrate! Mama and grandma made me a vegan cake (I'm allergic to dairy), grandpa grilled, and papa made me a birthday sign!



Grandma scripting icing on the cake. She's a pro!




Hanging out with Great Uncle Dallas.


Grandpa grilling while sporting one of the party hats mama made.


Tony Brock and I were sharing stories. Tony was papa's college professor.


Silly Tony!


Here's Cheryl looking pretty! Cheryl used to be papa's 1st grade teacher!


Great Uncle Dallas trying to be serious.


Great Aunt Sheila and their grandson Owen or maybe it's Isaac...he's a twin, and I'm still trying to figure out which one is which.


Getting ready for my cake!


Everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to me!


King for a day!


Having a laugh!


Opening presents is always exciting!


Agh! They both have 3 blue balloons, which makes it even more difficult to figure out which one is Owen and which one is Isaac!


My 1st birthday family pic!


Later that evening, friends of the family, James and Charlotte came to see me! They showed us their plans for their new home renovation...but of course, making noises with it rolled up just to entertain me.
