...but let's talk about presents!

Here's the birthday girl with her big sister at the birthday dinner. She's already gunning for the gifts methinks.
A great book (anything by Boynton is awesome in my, um, book.) from Great Grandma Lockwood aka GiGi. Also, see those little bookmarks in the lower left corner? Orange flower with green square below? Well, we planted those. They have seeds built right in to he biodegradable paper and now they are plants. If I remember I'll take a picture and show you. It was a fun project to do with the girls. Thanks GiGi!
Amelia LOVES her Doodle from Grandpa and Grandma. She and Gwen actually fight over it fairly regularly. Thanks a lot! No really, we enjoy it quite a bit. We spend many an evening playing "Mommy, what do you want me to draw now?"
It's a choo-choo! Which is what Amelia is actually saying a she pulls her imaginary train whistle string. This is a 3D puzzle train that moves, from Granny. Love it!
Just a beautiful girl with a cherub face moving on to the next present.
Strawberries for dessert. Looks like she approves, huh?Oh, and these next several pictures illustrate the ham side of Amelia. Once she opened this dress that Granny made, she had to try it on immediately and then model it for us. She has this new thing where she says "cheeeeee" whenever she wants to have her picture taken. (And she does it a lot!) So she had the dress on and kept yelling "cheeeeee!!!!!" in a squeaky, highpitched, adorable-yet-progressively-louder voice until I got the camera rolling. She's really quite the little insistent superstar. No hair, can't really talk yet, but she gets her point across with no problems and in a big way.

My mom also crocheted a few handpuppets/wash mitts for her. This seahorse is her favorite, which makes sense if you know how much she loves Mister Seahorse by Eric Carle.
