Great Grandma Joy, and cake!

Saturday evening we had a surprise bridal shower for my cousin's fiance, Svea. They were down from Canada for the day, doing some wedding shopping, and had planned to stop by for a quick visit "to see Conan" before heading back for the night. So all the Whatcom County family came out for the evening; it was really fun to see everyone. The next time we'll all be together will be at the wedding!

Conan was especially thrilled to see his Great Grandma Joy - he threw himself into her arms when she first arrived and stuck pretty close to her for the whole evening. Besides cuddles, they also shared a big piece of cake. Mmmmm-mmm, frosting...

Conan also had fun romping with his cousins Hazel and Hannah. It's neat now that he's able to play with them more like a kid and less like a baby. The girls are really good with him, very understanding.
Little Odessa isn't quite walking yet, but she'll be able to keep up soon enough, she's getting so big. Almost a year old now, it's amazing how time flies. Conan is 18 months old now, I can't believe it!
