Happy Birthday, Viv!

Viv woke up from her nap to find everyone had arrived to celebrate! She was a bit confused.

Grandma has to slowly wake her up.

But then she was ready to explore!  Hurry up, Grandma!

Oops!  Stole a little bit of frosting before the candles were lit!

Singing Happy Birthday to Vivi!

Great job with the cake, Mom!  It was delicious!

Seriously, WHY do I need to open presents?!?

The lion stops the tears!

Teachers, watch out for this little one!

Using the birthday mat for the water playtime, not the cake smashing.

Happy niece in one of her new skirts!  Can't believe she's already one year old.

Clark Celebration

Mel and Thom planned a lovely summer celebration, with a blessing ceremony for their marriage and a baptism for Vivienne.  It was a lovely day once the rain stopped.  Everyone had a great time!  Mel incorporated a few special items, including Grandma Rosemary's wedding dress, from which a portion was used to create a dress for Viv.
