She woke us this morning to find a pink car in the front room just for her. She crawled right into it, and Corrine gave her a ride around.
For breakfast we had star pancakes with blueberries and strawberries. She discovered the sweetness of whipcream with her pancakes. She thought her candle was better then the food on her plate!
The kids were really sweet finding presents from thier beloved toys that they thought Rebecca would like. Corrine kept wrapping more presents for her. She ended up with 2 dolls and a book. Simeon wrapped up Mortimor the alligator that he got her from camp. Ammon gave her a Winnie the Pooh book. We got her a pool, and the car was from grandparents.
After church we went to vist Great Grandma Riddle. Rebecca drove her car in and was quite the hit. Residents kept coming over to say hi.
Since we had already done the big get messy cake last weekend and it was the 4th of July, we made individual flag cakes. We made a homemade pound cake, cut it into slices, topped it with whipcream and the kids made flags on them with strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. They turned out really cute and tasted great!!
It started raining really hard late evening, and we didn't think there would be fireworks, so we put Rebecca to bed. She got woken up so we decided to go for a drive and see if fireworks were happening. We drove to a parking ramp downtown and watched them from there. The boys got to sit on the top of the van which was scarey and exciting for them. I didn't have the camera because we didn't think we'd see fireworks so I have no picture of her there.
We feel so lucky to have such a sweet little girl in our family. Happy 1st Birthday Rebecca Lucy-we Love You!!

I can't belive she is one! It looks like you guys did lots of birthday playing. I think the 4th of July would be such a fun birthday. Rebecca is such a sweet beautiful girl. I'm glad I was able to meet her in person. I wish her and Connor could hang out together more often. They had such a fun time together:)
