Everything was fine with the present-opening at first....
... until it just wasn't anymore.  She was past consolation, and I can't even remember why.  But that's fine.  It was her party so, as we all know, she can cry if she wants to, cry if she... anyways.
Party?  We're there.  Birthday crowns?  We're on it.   

In what was a smashing success of a 1st birthday, Kaela-bear is now one year old.  She can't tell you that yet, but she's working on it.  First she'll learn how to say "maahhn-dee!"  It's a matter of priorities.
