First Birthday Party

You had an EXCELLENT birthday little girl!  The good thing about having a birthday in the summer is that you can have a pool party.  That's exactly what we did!  We rented the clubhouse and had family and friends over to help celebrate your special day.

Memom made your little bear cake.  I knew I always wanted my first child to have this cake since my brother, myself and niece Audrey all had one.  I wanted to continue the tradition!

Me on my first birthday

You are WAAAAYYY cuter than Mommy!!!

We started your day with having a cinnamon roll for breakfast.  You LOVED the icing!  I gave you a piece of the bread and you spit that right out, ha!  You wanted the good stuff :)

 

 You had a busy morning of playing with Uncle Chris, Aunt Suzanne, Cousin Audrey and Papa.  You had a blast!  You took an hour long nap, from 10-11am.  I wanted you to nap longer, but sadly that didn't happen.  You were happy at least.  

Your party started a 1pm.  We showed up at 1:20pm.  You were fashionably late...that's okay!  Almost everyone was already there.  

 We didn't have a theme for your party, but everything was pink.

We did your smash cake first.  You LOVED it!  I made your icing with real strawberries.

After the cake was done everyone grabbed some food, ate and started swimming.  

We had to change your swimsuit because you decided to do a little poo poo.  That was a first for me.  I was unprepared.  Memom and Papa and to go back to the house and get you some Huggie swimmers and another suit.  It was all good after that!

You did a great job!  I thought you would become fussy since you were running on an hour nap.  You were a happy baby the entire time!

Your party ended at 4 pm.  We cleaned up the clubhouse and headed back home to open your presents and play outside a little.  

 

We got an earlier bath time...6 pm.  To end the day, you pooped in the bathtub for the very first time!!  I think you ate a little too much watermelon, ha!  Mommy put you down and you were asleep by 7pm.  

I am so glad you had a fantastic birthday.  We couldn't have asked for a better day.  The weather was great, you were happy and everyone was happy to be there.  

You are one loved little girl!!!  You have everyone (especially mommy, daddy and the grands) wrapped around your little finger.
