Afton's Birthday Day

So Afton had a great birthday day. We started off with opening presents. She didn't quite get the opening gifts part, but enjoyed playing with the boxes. Eventually, she got that there were new toys in the room and loved playing with them. She especially loves the rocking chair Grandma Scoresby got her. Thanks Margaret!

We went to a young women's basketball game since I am still the coach. It was a lot of fun; Afton really enjoyed watching the game and tried to get on the court once in a while. Maybe basketball really is in her blood. We won by the way and remain undefeated 3 years running. Go team! We had a pizza party which Afton really enjoyed.Anything involving food, at least!

Margaret and I made her birthday cake. It turned out really cute, a little uneven but cute none the less. I didn't level it properly so there were big gaps in some of the edges, which caused them to start collapsing. Margaret had the brilliant idea to stick mini almond joy bars (the candy available at the moment) in the cracks and frost over it. It worked beautifully.




When trying to get Afton to blow out her candle, she was way more interested in drinking her sippy cup. I just want you to notice the amount of cake on her plate. She of course ate the whole thing. It really is a good thing she has a high metabolism! :0)



She totally enjoyed the cake. She started eating it daintily but decided that large fistfulls were much better. :0) Sorry, the video isn't the best but our batteries died so we couldn't download the other ones! Maybe Monday.



She is a total flirt-- with Toby, this cute little boy who is a little over a year and a half. Unfortunately we don't have any pics with him, but yesterday he gave her a kiss on the lips and Afton's face just lit up-she gave the biggest grin. It was really cute. Anyways, she stole one of his oreo cookies at the party tonight. It was pretty funny.



P.S. I'm still in 1st in the brackets for any of the Scoresby's and Franzens who missed that! Yay!! I really don't expect it to last long, so I gotta gloat while I can! :)
