Birthday part II

Since Jeff got home, we've been busy with Ariel's birthday, Jeff's jetlag, and taking care of life details. These are his last 2 weeks home before his 2.5 months stateside training and 1 year deployment. So we have lots to square away. Sorry if we haven't gotten back to you. As of this photo shoot, we hadn't checked mail, so not all her wonderful cards and gifts are pictured.
"Thank you for the pretty cards!"
One was glittery, and she rubbed it on her head.

Is it obvious she's an animal lover?!

cake time!

She was contemplative about her birthday wish.


"Eewww"


"What am I supposed to do with this?"




Serious thoughts about taking on Year Two.





clean up time!
It was so hot. We went to the big pool that evening.


Happy Birthday, sweet Ariel! We love you so much.
