Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you!

I know I've been promising pictures from the party sooooo, here they are!!

The morning started off really great. She woke up in a wonderful mood and Daddy and I sang Happy Birthday to her in bed. We had been singing to her for over a week prior just to get her used to it. Turns out she loves the song and likes the attention-imagine that!
Here she is opening her gift from Daddy and Mommy. She loves her 4 wheeler!! She played on it all morning.
We started the party at 3pm, after her daily nap from 1-3. It worked out perfect b/c she was just waking up when everyone was arriving! She was so excited for her party!

She opened up all her gifts and when she would see clothes or something she really liked she would hold it up to her neck and say, "Awww!" She was darling. Of course all her cousins and friends helped her open the gifts and she loved that! I decorated her highchair with balloons, a plush hot pink seat and a purple tutu skirt. I know cheesy, but she loved it! She kept playing with the tulle all day.
We let her play with her toys for a couple of minutes. She loved all the gifts but was especially excited over the cars that her Nanny and Parrin gave her.
We changed her out of her pretty outfit and put her in her Birthday Diva t-shirt and hat for cake and of course, Happy Birthday singing. Here she is with Daddy.

When everyone started to sing to her, this is the face she gave. She was in heaven! Now everytime we are at a party and Happy Birthday is sung she does the same face and looks around at everyone like, Why aren't you singing to me?!!

She hated to get dirty with her cake. She wanted no part in it and cried when we tried to put her hands in it. She did the same thing the day before at her pictures. Oh well!! My baby is too beautiful to be dirty anyway!

The whole day was so much fun! Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating our darling little girl's 1st birthday!!
