1st Birthday Party

Fifty family and friends joined us to celebrate Caroline's 1st Birthday in perfect weather, 74 degrees and not a cloud in the sky (thank goodness, because I'm not sure where we all would have fit)!  

Caroline enjoyed her day, we invited some of her school friends and she was noticeably happy when she saw them - grabbing their hands and beaming.  You forget that although they're little, they still know a lot.  She was introduced to Pizza Dip via Nana and Pop Pop and had her full of cake, cookies and lord knows what else!  I climbed in the bouncer and we both went down the slide countless times, each decent was met with Caroline screaming with laughter.

The big moment!


Not quite sure . . .



The bouncer!  I can hardly watch when the kids are in there, it gets INSANE, epecially when you have so many children.

Sissy and Emmy, eight days apart


Love these people!


Katie loved the bouncer and pretty much every other aspect of the party!  She couldn't wait for her school "friends" to arrive and screamed upon seeing Nelson, Jackson and Emerson.  She had a cookie, six juice boxes and three cupcakes!  She patiently waited and as guests left thanked them for "coming to her party" . . .she then asked in earnest if she could open her presents.  So thankful to those family members and friends that brought gifts for Katie too.  PLUS having two girls close in age helps in this department.
