Next Stop - Billings - Zyra is 1

I flew from Las Vegas to Billings and met up with Mister who flew from Dallas to Billings.  This was the start of a small trip in Montana centered on birthdays.  Love this time of year.  First up is Miss Zyra who is 1 -- oh my what a great number to be.  I was excited to be with them and to share in this day.

We arrived at the house and the kids came running to see us.  They were both ready for a party.

Grabbing pictures when we can, we ignored Hyrum's shirt.


Stone faced Zyra, Unhappy Hyrum ---- but a very happy Grandpa to be spending time with them.


It did take Grandpa long to get down to playing.  We had brought a game for him and soon the two of them were creating many funny faces.

Becca had turned the house into a wonderland for the birthday and you could definitely tell that it was a little girls birthday party.  Everything was set - let the party begin.

While waiting Uncle Matt plays with Elena -- oh my check out that hair.


Soon it is birthday time and the moment for the star to shine.  We sat her on the banister behind the table and I am behind her standing on the stairs and holding her so she doesn't fall.  Look close and you will see my fingers.  She never wiggled at all -- just smiled and smiled.












Mom had created a special cake for Zyra along with a regular cake and cupcakes for everyone else.  Smart lady.


She put Zyra's cake in front of her and let her go.  It didn't take long and  she soon had cake everywhere.

Big brother, on the other hand, was slowly, oh so slowly enjoying his cupcake.



Taking any chance I can to get a girls shot -- Mister pulled us together for a quick one.

Next up, gifts.  We had purchased a "giraffe" for her to ride and it didn't take long for her to climb on board.  I cannot believe how big she has gotten already.

She loves the stuffed animal -- can't you tell?

After the festivities are over -- "Uncle" has some quality time with Elena.  I loved the interaction here.  Peek a Boo is such a great game.


Best picture of the day!


Next stop --- Flathead Lake -- and away we go.
