Hey Remember Me?!

Wellll yes it's been a while so let's just jump right in. Starting at Bellys 1st BIRTHDAY!!
(About half a year ago. What I've been super busy.)

Here is the first of her two first birthdays.

This one consisted of Mom, Dad and Grandma. On her actual birthday.

She LOOOOVED tearing the paper off. And like you'd suspect didn't really pay any attention to the toy.
Lesson:
Wrap paper in paper and that is the perfect gift for a 1yr old.

And now a little birthday cake.

Yumm.



Now on to the big one. The birthday party where we invited a bunch of people.
I would like to go on record and say the inviting a bunch of people to a 1 year olds birthday party was MY horrible idea.
(You'll see what I mean. Don't let Rach try and take credit for it.)

Getting ready.

G-Mom getting drinks ready

Uncle Russ ready for some food.

The amazing cakes (yes cakeS) our friend Marissa had made.

Some of the ol' FG peeps stopping by to mark the occasion.

These pictures are a bit out of order but I assure you Bella did not have the amazing time I thought she would. It was kind of interesting though. Watching 20 something people sing Happy Birthday to someone without looking at them. Fun times. fun times.

Next up.
Just some more cute pictures.
