Morgan's First Birthday

Morgan's First Birthday

Half of Morgan’s family lives here in Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast and half live in Regina in Saskatchewan.

We flew to visit them for the first time and to celebrate her first birthday.  So for her first birthday, Morgan actually had two parties – not bad!

We flew via Westjet with our obligatory stop overs in Edmonton (going) and Calgary (returning).  We were able to get an extra seat for Morgan on all four flights, so Beth took the isle seat, I took the window seat, and Morgan was passed back and forth in the middle seat.

She is a great flying baby.  She didn’t seem to mind the ups and downs and REALLY liked the turbulence.  She made googoo eyes with EVERYONE and even had a lady playing peek-a-boo and other games on the way back.

It was great to see all of the Craig family; Morgan finally got to meet her cousins, Cole and Zoey, Aunt Susan and Uncle Shawn, Uncle Mike, Great Uncle Ken and Great Aunt Fiona, and Great Grandmother Marion.  She had a full week of going to the swimming pool, the local parks, the Saskatchewan Children’s Festival, the Science Center, shopping centers, restaurants, and a ton of other things.  She had her first dim sum in Saskatoon and her first hot banana pepper at Fudd Ruckers (loved it).

We now have to get her back into her proper sleep patterns and get her routine going again.

Here are a few pictures.

Morgan's First Birthday

Today Morgan celebrated her 1st Birthday with all of her family and friends on the Sunshine Coast.

We met at the Sechelt Aquatic Center for cupcakes, juice, and a swim.

With the one small oversight that babies and open flames don’t mix we had a great time!

She received some beautiful sun dresses and sun hats and some great summer toys.

After presents and a sugar rush, we all headed in for a swim and and a soak.

Thank you to everyone who helped make her day wonderful!

We’ve also come to the conclusion that it’s time for a new camera.  There were some really nice shots that were botched because the sensors on this camera
are already dying (2.5 years old!).  Also, what is in focus in the viewfinder is not in focus on the output – frustrating! So if you have any recommendations, we’re all ears.

Some photos!
