A Birthday Tea Party

                                   Guess What!

I'm going to be one year old!

Mommy has invited all my friends for a Tea Party.

Everything is ready from butterflies to cupcakes...

We have just enough time for a picture of Mommy and me.

and also a little time to look through the book Mommy made of my first year of life.

Here I am with all my "girlfriends."

Of course, their mommies came too!

This is my One Year "glamour pose."

Then it was cake time......

....and it was sooooooooooooo goooooood!  Can't you tell?

Finally, the next day I had some quiet time to enjoy my new "talking teapot."

Meanwhile

My brother was busy gasing up his new truck he got for Christmas.

There he is in the driver's seat.......You better watch out!

My brother and I also had time to play with Grandpa.

You never see Grandma because she's always taking pictures...

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

And it SNOWED all day!

These three little ones, the Titmouse, the Nuthatch and the Dark-eyed Junco, were just resting till it was their turn once again at the feeder.

The Downy's love the suet but were a little impatient about taking turns.

"Can't you hurry up....I'm getting hungry!"

"Where did that seed go?  It was here a minute ago."

The little Junco said,"Let me show you how to find those seeds."

"I'm not called a Snowbird for nothing!"

"Now I look like I just did a milk commercial."

This little American Tree Sparrow seemed happy to have found the feeder.

                      Then it quickly flew away with the wind and snow.

The Redbellied Woodpecker flew in, and everyone else scattered.

The little Carolina Wren finally had a chance to eat.

"Oh dear, my beak seems too short to get to the good stuff."

The squirrel couldn't watch all those birds coming and going without having a little bit for himself.

Way out in the forest the Pilated Woodpecker found something that pleased him.

It was a GOOD day.....a SNOWY day.....a BEAUTIFUL day!
