Ginger's first birthday party...

...as an attendee, of course! Today she and I went over to our friend Kendall's house to celebrate her stepson Jared's 4th birthday. Since it was Ginger's first children's birthday party, we had to wear a special dress for the occasion. In all actuality, we have too many dresses and too little time- this is a 3-6 month dress, and with the long sleeves in summer, I didn't know if we'd have another opportunity to wear it (it was pretty cloudy today).

Anyhow, Ginger and Ryen got to play together while some of the other kids dared going in the pool (it was heated, luckily!) Ryen is already crawling and pulling herself to standing position on the couch, coffee table, ottoman, etc. and it's just amazing to see what we have in store for us in 3 more months! I'll add the pics that Jaime took of the girls together, but here are a few that Paul took before we left to the party (though we added a bow for good measure after these shots were taken). I also added a few from after the party, when the dress came off and comfty pants went on- a girl after my own heart. :)
