yes, you read that right.
SEPTEMBER!!!! of 2011!!!!! i am such a slacker. but i figured it
should at least be documented here on the blog, so if you don't want to
read about an event that took place several months ago, i understand.
also, there are going to be WAY too many photos on this entry, but it's a
girl's first birthday, she deserves this plethora :)
first up: the invitation
then, the spread
when it's a baby's birthday, there's not much else to do but eat...
guests
kate and oliver
ali girl
the birthday girl, herself!
the gift giving
beth got a swingset for her birthday
(yes, you are free to laugh at a 1 year old getting her very own swingset)
it's either they get one at christmas in the snow or february when it's kate's bday
not sure what to make of all of this
ok, she's catching on
kate loves showing beth how to do everything
i had to include this photo because it reminded me too much of a picture of my dad:
my brothers took this picture, printed it, and hung it from the hotel room bed the night of my wedding... a message for weston???? :)
back to the party...
time for cake!!!
i tried making little hot air balloons for the cupcakes (we didn't get a picture of all of them, i guess) but the "balloons" were so heavy, they kind of sunk onto the cupcakes... oh well, good effort?
you can see the "balloon" on beths' cake
i love her face here
she wasn't shy about digging in
during the course of cake-eating, beth seemed to periodically get mad at her cake...
then she just got silly from a sugar high...
at least she had fun with it :)
and finally, finish off the day playing with the new toys
kate showing karli beth's new doll, just like the one kate got on her first birthday
there's that sugar high again
awww... sisters
happy birthday, sweet beth!!!! we love you!
4 quick quips:
You have "pretty" parties. Beth looks cute (as always) and the party looked like it was a lot of fun. I wish we lived close so I could come to one of your famous "shin-digs". Thanks for posting so I could enjoy it vicariously!!
Great party! Love the cake! I wish you were here so you could be my party planner :) Happy birthday little one, can't wait to meet you!
Okay, I need a hot dog now:) Seriously cute party, love your creative ideas. Beth is ADORABLE! Let's catch up soon.
The party table looks so cute and I have a high chair just like that. i also have mine black, it was my dad's so it's pretty old since I am pretty old! LOL
