The Party!

Please don't throw anything! I know, it's been two weeks! We've been so busy!!!
I wanted to get Brylie's bday party pics posted first...........I'll be back in a couple of days (hopefully) for a general update. Meanwhile, enjoy the tons of pictures I'm posting from the party! It was a blast, and she had a great time! I admit though, it was kinda heart wrenching for me! My baby's one!


I found this adorable 1st birthday kit that included a party hat (which I embellished) a mat for under the high chair, bib, and high chair tray decorations. They also had coordinating plates and napkins, so that's what we went with! (take mental note of this before picture, hehe)
The cakes........Had to make chocolate with chocolate frosting of course! More fun to make a mess with! hehe

Brylie's cake:

and everyone else's.........my first birthday cake was designed this way :)

She tolerated the hat for a short time before the party:

Brylie had a blast EATING the paper after she tore it off.......then she decided to just bite it right off the package!

So fun to open those gifts!

LOVE balls! This one from Uncle David talks, lights up, sings songs and rolls on it's own!

Checking out the cute little baby doll:

Jazlyn, (me), Peyton, Granny Sue, Grandma Great & Ashley, Brylie's crawling to Lexi on the floor:

"White" Grandma (Brylie's Great Grandma) and her husband Don, Uncle David, Grandpa Kenny, Daddy:

Uncle David's girlfriend Ashely (you can thank Dad for this pic, Ashley -- he was sure to grab it, lol):

Papa Vern:

Brylie wasn't quite sure what to think at first -- after all she only had her diaper and birthday attire on.........

She sure loved it though when everyone was singing to her -- she was the center of attention!

Brylie dove right in -- fist fulls at a time -- she even tried to share with the kids, who were often hanging out too close and nearly got smeared with cake!

She just got messier and messier!!!

She even had it shoved waaaaay up her nose!

Still thought it was fun on the way to the bath. Had to run the tub twice -- once to get the majority of the stuff off, and once to actually clean her! hehe

Grandma Debbie with the little fishie :)

These last couple of pics are more from the shoot we did a couple weeks ago when I was trying to get invite pics. I just loved these two!
