Birthday Party

Abby's First Birthday Bash has arrived!  

I'm still in shock sometimes when I think about it that I have a daughter and I'm a mother, let alone have a child who is ONE!  We're in the full blown toddler stage now too.  She's walking, climbing up stairs, jabbering up a storm and amazes us everyday with things she does. 

We had a birthday party to celebrate the occasion - Brent and I surviving the first year of life with a child of course!  Many people asked me what the theme was.  The theme was getting together and eating and celebrating.  I didn't have the time, creativity or resources to have a theme. What we did have was a house full of family and friends.  

Outfit Number One: I had a onsie made with "1" and "Abby" embroidered on.  It was super cute!  Sadly, this is the best picture I have of this outfit.  I do have to add that I wasn't planning on an outfit change type of party and I don't know when during the party that I thought I would show off her birthday gear, but it happened and I'm glad we got to at least wear all the birthday themed outfits! 

Outfit Number Two: A party dress that was made just for the "birthday girl".  We got this dress from Kim Johnivan - thank you!  It fit her perfectly and was so darling to wear.

"Outfit" Number Three:  A diaper.  I've seen enough first birthday cake pictures to know that the least amount of clothes involved is best. 

See? The cake got EVERYWHERE!  She went straight to the bath being carried at an arm's length away.  She loved the cupcake - after a little prodding to shove it in her face.  But she delivered.  That's my girl!  

Thanks all for the great birthday party!  Thanks to all who came!  (Can you imagine how stuffed our place would be if everyone came that we invited?  We'd be sardines!  We would have loved to invite more too.)
