Then we went to the zoo, we go there quite often because we have a year pass and the kids love it. The weather was perfect and we saw most of the animals in the exhibits (some days they are hiding)
We saw the giraffes first, it's always so fun to see them up close. Hailey fed them but Aubrey was too afraid but who can blame her, they are huge.
I love how Aubrey points at everything. She already talks using her hands.
It's hard getting everyone to look at the camera at the same time, I thought it was cute how they were all looking in different directions. I suppose the birds flying around were a bit distracting.
After all that fun Aubrey took a nap while the rest of us got the house ready for her birthday dinner.
Charlie made a fabulous dinner including steak, pork tenderloin and shrimp but what Aubrey really wanted was the cake.
Here's daddy helping her cut the first piece which is tradition for the birthday person to cut the first piece in Charlie's family.
We let Aubrey have her own cake to dive in to, we all loved watching her stuff her face. I think she could have ate the whole cake if we would have let her, as it was she ate about half.
Happy as can be!
Afterwards we did the present opening. She knew right what to do and started ripping the paper off and playing with whatever was inside. Here she is opening one of the presents Hailey got for her. I didn't know what Hailey had wrapped up but this one happened to be a sippy cup of milk so as soon as it was opened Aubrey started drinking it, ha ha. Hailey promised that it was wrapped up that day.
The other present Hailey gave her was a drawing she drew and it was so cute because even though Aubrey had opened other toys she took the time to appreciate every gift even the drawing.
Here she is with her other presents.
It was a fun day and we loved celebrating Aubrey's 1st birthday as a family.
