Birthday Bash, Pt. 1

Corvallis was PartyTown, USA (with a capital "T"), this past Thursday. As you may know, there was a huge party at Reser Stadium where some 40,000 people celebrated the un-ranked Beavers' upset of No. 1 ranked USC.

But there was also a more exclusive party being held only a couple of miles away: Annikka's first birthday party. The attendees were: yours truly, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, and Annikka.

Annikka received a baby doll (which she loves):

From 1st birthday

... and a stroller for the doll:

We ate a scrumptious dinner, the highlight of which was Annikka's first cupcake (or taste of sugar for that matter):



Happy Birthday, Annikka!

What an incredible year it's been.

Tomorrow is Annikka's second, first birthday party. If you're in town around 2:00, stop by Cloverland Park for the bash!
