Emily's first birthday and Valerie's 34th

We celebrated Emily's first birthday yesterday and Valerie's 34th birthday.

 Emily's new favorite expression.  She has found her tongue and loves to stick it out.

 The "before" shot

 I think it's safe to say that she had no problems figuring out what to do with her cake.

 Are you all really going to let me keep shoving my face in this thing?

 Making sure she's getting all the frosting off of her fingers

 Oh yeah, and it was Valerie's birthday too :)  Happy birthday Val!
