Here's Nela with her piece of family made cake. We tried and tried but she wouldn't blow out the candle. She just got mad because she wanted her cake.
Yummy
We never have family photos because I'm always taking the photos, but I love auto timers. This wasn't bad.
Von had me light a candle and sing happy birthday to him too
Ann and the kids called to wish Nela a happy birthday. She held the phone most of the time (there were six kids passing the phone around) and she only disconnected once.
She loves the phone.
We also celebrated Valentine's Day during a break of the birthday party. The kids got a little toy. Here's Kujo helping Von open his.
This was the beginning of Nela's birthday. She had her first meal at 1 just as she did when she was born ... naked, except for a diaper on.
Our first stop was to the Career Center to see grandma and Aunt Tammy. This is the new superintendent who's last name I haven't mastered yet.
Aunt Tammy got Nela a cute baby doll, which I can't believe I didn't even take a picture of.
After the Career Center, Nela and I went to Zanesville. We got pictures taken at Wal Mart and then went to Olive Garden for lunch with Josie.
Then we stopped by the TR to see everyone. Here's Nela eating Brian Gadd's french fries while Josie holds her. To finish off the stop Pam gave Nela a chocolate bar for her birthday and Pam swears Tide will take out the stains on her white shirt.
Brayden is such a lover. He's made numerous cards this week, including this one for Nela's birthday/Valentine's day. He's reading it to her in this picture.
here's the kids with their Valentine's treats, and of course Von wouldn't look, so two kids out of three isn't bad.
Nela (and Von) loved the balloons for the party.
Here's Nela in her Kente Cloth (not sure of the spelling but it's an African dress). It was too big but I had to take a picture of her in it while she tried it on. I believe the dress was from Von's sisters when they were little.
Isn't she just beautiful!
