Quinn's First Birthday

 Quinn turned one on Saturday, April 12th 2014.  After a horrendous winter she had the PERFECT day.  It was sunny, not a cloud in the sky and 75 degrees.  We are holding a small family party for her the weekend after her actual birthday so we spent the day as a family of four celebrating Quinn.  It was so much fun and you could tell Quinn had a blast all day.  Couldn't have asked for a better way to spend our baby's birthday.
 Good morning one year old!
 Birthday breakfast of champions:  raisin bread, blueberries, and bananas.
 Opening presents.  She actually did a really good job.  It took a really long time, as expected, but she would tear big pieces of paper off and then hand them over to Nolan to collect and throw away.

 After Quinn's morning nap we headed to the zoo.  It was pretty busy that day but so much fun anyways.  Quinn loved to look around at everything around her and loved looking at the gorillas.  This was our attempt at a family picture.  The lighting was horrible and Nolan decided he didn't want to join.  
 Waiting for the train ride.
 Nolan waiting for the train…his favorite part of the zoo.
 Another attempt at getting both kids in one picture.  
 Stinker face.
 After the zoo we headed home so the kids could take a nap and then we went out to an early dinner at Local Roots.  It was so nice to finally be able to sit out on the patio!!  Quinn had veggies, raisins, sweet potato fries, chicken, and chips :)
Silly Nolan.
 After dinner we headed home to sing "happy birthday" and eat cupcakes.  
 Ready for cake!
 "Happy birthday to you…"
 So excited.
 "mmmm…"
 This is when things started getting real and she really got the hang of smashing cake.
 Yay for cake!
 Still not too bad.
 Messy.
 Messier.
Messiest.  It was off to the tub immediately!

Happy 1st birthday baby Quinn!
