Amelia's 1st Birthday

Amelia had an awesome first birthday.  I know she won't remember the party, but she is such a lucky girl.  Several of our family and friends came over to enjoy an afternoon of food, cake, and outdoor fun.  

We went with a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme.  Quite fitting for our little eater.

I made a photo collage out of the pictures we had taken each month.  I love going back and looking at her photos.  I'm always amazed at how much she changed from month to month.


We had lots of yummy food (Dave's getting to be quite the cook these days).  I was in charge of baking.  Cupcakes for our guests and a round cake for Amelia (it was her birthday, after all).


Amelia's friends and family spoiled her.  Seriously, she received so many awesome gifts.  She had lots of gift-opening helpers which was great because she's still a novice at it.


I thought the best part of the day was getting to spend time outside.  We set up the pools and the sprinkler and the kiddos had a blast!




Birthday hugs and kisses from Allie.


Yes, she has to drink out of the pool.


Enjoying a little quiet time with Aunt Andrea.


Look at all of the people.  We are truly lucky to have such great family and friends!


Amelia was hamming it up for everyone.  Here she insisted on crawling into the pocket between two chairs.  Why she thought that looked like fun, I have no idea.



As you can imagine, it was quite the busy day.  She was so tired but luckily Uncle Kevin was there to provide a comfy place to nap.



I think her first party was a success.  Amelia had a great time and we had so much fun having everyone over.  It was so much fun to celebrate this milestone with everyone!
