Haley's First Birthday Party!

On Sunday we celebrated Haley's 1st birthday with a picnic in the park with our friends and family. We rented a pavillion at Challenger 7 Memorial Park, a park my sister and I used to play at when we were little girls (anyone else remember the giant maze?!). We had such a great time and enjoyed visiting with everyone! Thank you so much for everyone that was able to make it, and to those that could not, you were certainly missed! And thank you Cassie for the great pictures :) Scroll down for more pictures than you probably care to see of our little big girl!

This is the next birthday girl in the baby boom

of our neighborhood - Sydney!

Note to self: Do not order a birthday cake to be picked up first thing Sunday morning. The chances of having a hung over cake decorator are very high. And those are the most obscene balloons I have ever seen.

What a ham! We were singing Happy Birthday to her!

Digging in!

She liked the fondant the best!

She kept picking the little fondant balls off from around the bottom

of the cake, and when I took those away so she wouldn't choke,

she moved on to the dots!

Licking her hand

She tore into it and kept patting the top of it with her

Boom Boom move!

Beautiful smile!

Overall, she was a pretty clean cake eater!

Until she shoved it up my nose!

Opening presents

She loved ripping the tissue paper out and throwing it behind her!

Thank goodness the older kids were quick to grab it!

She is saying Wow in this picture!
