Abbie is all ready for her first birthday party.

Abbie enjoyed all the action opening presents.  Lucas enjoyed helping open many of the items, as the Cook girls and Wagner boys watched.

Abbie carefully eats her birthday cake - this time.

Abbie gives her new doll a ride as the party winds down.

This is the cake for the 2nd birthday party.

Normal party mayhem.

Abbie offers Janet a bit of dinner.

Abbie was starting to understand the present opening thing, but Lucas was still glad to help.

"That looks like a nice shirt."

Abbie enjoys her new toys.

Lucas was delighed to get a surprise gift.

Abbie was not as delicate in her cake consumption at the 2nd party.

This frosting is fun stuff...

... it makes a nice hair gel, don't you think?  (She went straight to the bathtub before returning to the party.)

Following are shots from our small family party on Abbie's actual birthday.
 

"This looks like a good one."

This shiny carousel piggy bank came from Aunt Myrt.

These look just right (outfit from Grandma Day).

It's a toy AND a book.

"What's in this box?"

It seems like a perfectly good toy even before putting it together.

Abbie knows just what this is for - helping her walk around. Right? (Stepstool from G&G Coffman, matches the one Lucas received on his first birthday.)

How do I get these letters out?
