Joye's Party

We had a birthday party for Joye on Saturday. She had a good time. All of our families were there. We had sandwiches with lots of yummy salads, and then cake and ice cream. Joye opened her presents really well. I would pull the tissue paper out of the bags and she'd reach her arm all the way in to pull out the present. She showed her appreciation by oo-ing and ah-ing, as she pulled things out. We gave her her own cake which I thought she would destroy, cause she destroys everything else, but she mainly used her one finger to dig in it. We think she didn't destroy it, because we were letting her play in it, if she wasn't supposed to she would have. It's good to get all of our families together and mingle. We had the party at the park by our house, so all the kids had fun playing on the toys. Thanks everybody who came, to support Joye. We love you all.

SO BIG!!!

Opening presents.

She wanted to open every card and read it.

After...

When Alek gets older he's going to be mad we photographed this moment in his life. Alek is such a skinny kid with no bum, he was having issues keeping his pants up, well he was crossing the trains and he didn't have a third hand to keep his pants up. Notice Jaxon right next to him not helping him, just letting him hang there...Ah brotherly love :)

When everybody had left, Braden's dad and Bruce and Shirley stayed to help clean up. Bruce was holding Joye, and Joye wanted him to know how much she loved him. She is always willing to give kisses, but I've never seen her like this. She would put her face against his, then lean back and look at him, then lean forward and kiss him. She kept kissing his cheeks too.

Joye had a great birthday! Well except for the fact that she blew out her diaper all over the floor, during Relief Society, but other than that...Great! Thanks everybody for making Joye's birthday special.
