It's Party Time!

Today was Hannah's first birthday party! We kept things low key and had a lot of family make the trip to help us celebrate. I decided to use cupcakes as our theme and it was a lot of fun! I found invitations, plates and even cupcake thank you cards at our local Hobby Lobby that gave me my inspiration. Then, instead of a big cake, we had lots of cupcakes including a giant one just for Hannah. To continue the theme, I bought a cupcake-shaped cookie cutter for sugar cookies and for jello jigglers. It was so much fun! I was even convinced to try my hand at home made icing and decorating which I had tons of fun doing! It was so nice for many of our family to come and help us celebrate. Many helped with food which made for a fabulous meal. There were a few kids there who all had fun playing with toys and helping Hannah unwrap her gifts. Hannah dove into her cake in 1-year old style and had a ball. It was a fabulous day that we will always remember! Family shot before the party started. The table of goodies -- it was fun making the cookies, cupcakes and Hannah's giant cupcake! Hannah enjoyed opening her presents!Hannah wanted to play with her presents as soon as she opened them! She got tons of fun new toys to play with!
Hannah already likes her wagon we got her for her birthday. I can't wait for spring so we can try it out!

This is pretty good stuff -- I like playing with it and eating it!
