Gretchen's first birthday

I can't believe my baby is 1! Time moves so much faster than it did just a few years ago. Sigh. She had a great time, although the older kids enjoyed unwrapping her presents more than she did. Next year she'll know all about ripping into wrapped gifts!
I think I want a nap.
A classic Quin pose: waiting to see if something will be loud.
Gretchen wasn't able to "beat" her brother's record of 4 (or was it 5?) cupcakes on her first birthday, but she made a go of it! She managed to eat 3 cupcakes before filling up. Heck, it's her birthday! She managed to fit another cupcake in after dinner. Imagine that.
