My First Birthday Party

So I had the best birthday weekend ever! It started Thursday and it finally finished Sunday. You saw my day-of birthday celebration in my previous post. Friday Mommy, Auntie Katy, Grandma, and I hung out for the day. Then Grandpa, Uncle Eddie, and my cousin Emilie arrived overnight! Saturday morning the part preparations were in full swing. We had some breakfast and played while the preparations went on. It sure was fun to hang out! Sarah and her parents arrived Saturday morning, then came over to hang out. Kristopher and Ella came over too! We played some more, had some lunch. Grandpa took me for a walk for a while. I couldn't stay awake though, so I took a nap before the party started. Then when I woke up, we headed down to the park!

Everyone was gathered there and we celebrated! Grandpa Stan, Grandma Suzi, and Aunt Norma flew in and came to the park. Boy, it sure gives a girl a big head when lots of people come to wish her a happy birthday! It was a great time, lots of good food, laughs, even a pinata! Daddy had to help me hit it though. It took the big kids to actually crack it.

Then we had cupcakes. Can you believe Grandma brought them all the way from Florida?? I heard they tasted fantastic, but I preferred some crackers:) Everyone sang to me and I got lots of kisses! Eventually it was time to head home, it was getting cool and the sun was setting. So everyone came back to the house and helped me open all of those presents! It was the best day ever!

Sunday morning we went to breakfast with everyone, before the out-of-towners had to go to the airport. I enjoyed some of Grandpa's pancakes:) After a nap on the way back and forth from the airport, we went back to the house to hang out. (I think the grown ups took naps too.) Sunday night Auntie Chrissie and Emilie left that night, after dinner. Then it was time for bed for me! I needed some rest after that big weekend!

Now Grandma is staying for a little while, yeah! Mommy and Daddy are talking about going out on dates or something? All I know is I get to hang out with Grandma!
