GOOD BYE TO UNCLE AARON AND CAREN

We had a quick good bye dinner at the Jade Garden Restaurant before Bubby and Poppy took Aaron and Caren to the airport. Amelia seemed to enjoy most of the Chinese food but did not acquire a taste for the "bland" white rice. Once again she behaved so nicely at the Chinese restaurant. She also had an opportunity to wear one of her animal birthday hats.

AMELIA'S 1ST BIRTHDAY

Amelia had a great time at her 1st birthday party despite the fact that she did not have much of a nap that day. All of the one and two year olds were happy, played with each other, and had lots to eat. Even the little rain showers did not cause a problem.

Amelia shared her birthday week w/ her Mom on September 21, Uncle Aaron on September 23, and her Dad on October 3. Bubby and Poppy need a "raise" after all of the birthdays! Happy Birthday to all of the Simons!

Amelia and her friends wore their "animal party hats" briefly....but you can see from the photos below who enjoyed the hats the most!
