Happy Birthday [Party]!!!...

We celebrated Charlie's birthday this past weekend with family and friends since we'll be out of town on her actual birthday.  I decided this time around that the girls have really entirely too many toys so I went with a "library" party.  And since we LOVE Dr. Seuss I did all the decoration in a Dr. Seuss theme.  Super fun and so cute!

[Book signing table...]

[Horton and all the tiny specks...]

[I wrapped mini Dr. Seuss board books as favors...]

[Lorax lollipop mustaches...makes for great pictures!!!...]

[Jello and whipped cream parfaits...]

[Strawberry and marshmallow skewers as Cats Hat...]

[Thanks to my sis for making awesome green deviled eggs that we tops with ham...]

[And raspberry lemonade as the pink yink ink drink....]

Birthday girl absolutely LOVED all the attention.  Of course, she napped when everyone started to arrive...so we ate and everyone enjoyed swimming since, afterall, it was 102!!!  She got to swim for awhile then it was off for CAKE!  [or cupcakes]  

So really most babies are overwhelmed by the sound of everyone singing the Happy Birthday tune [off-key I might add] and be the center of attention, right?  Well...at least our first born was....but Charlie??  OMG...she was HILARIOUS!  Girl was bobbing her head [her signature dance move], looking around and laughing with a huge smile on her face.  Saying that she LIKED her special birthday song would be a total understatement.

[Success!!...]

[Our beautiful baby girls...]

[Now see...didn't I say these would make great pictures??...]

[Cutie sister and cousins, Miley, Mason and Reagan...]

[Handsome cousin Joseph and his big boy haircut...]

Ran out of time for presents so we opened them after we got comfy in our Pjams.  Sophie helped show her how a present was to be opened and Charlie seemed to catch right on.  She LOVED all her cool books and toys.  Parents liked the clothes!!  WooHoo!!

[We even had to taste a book just to make sure it wasn't another cupcake....]

 Thanks to everyone for celebrating our Little Bit's 1st birthday.  We couldn't have asked for a better day for her.  Love, love, love!!
