Saturday was the party to celebrate

Josie’s first birthday.
Children of all ages

showed up. Before long,

they split up

into little groups

with others

with whom they

shared common interests. Isn’t that the way it usually happens?

“Girl, you know you got that right!”
Anyway, as the afternoon progressed, the “Birthday Princess” proved that

you can have your cake and eat it too…

or at least fix it so no one else wants to eat it.
Then it came time for presents.

Alexis, who in the grand scheme of things, is not very far removed from age one, and who has a little sister

who is one, brought the perfect gift.

She colored a toilet paper tube and presented it to the birthday girl,

who really liked it.
So, the next time you are faced with the task of coming up with a present for a one year old, consider a toilet paper tube……just sayin’.
