Here is the birthday girl on her big day! It is still hard to believe she is one year old already! Time flies when you have so much joy in your life from this little lady! We love you Jade! Happy Birthday!!
Enjoying a birthday swing from Great Grandma...
I decided to go with a monkey theme for her birthday because she is our little monkey who gets into and climbs on everything. Sometimes she even makes monkey noises like ooh-ooh and aah-aah! We love our little monkey!
Here are the monkey cupcakes...
A close up...
We made chocolate and vanilla monkey suckers...
Jade loved her new sunglasses...he he!
and someone was sitting in Jade's high chair!
We decided to eat all of Jade's favorite things...
Enjoying her watermelon...
and her pasta...
"All Done Mommy!"
All of her party guests... Thanks for coming everyone, it was so much fun!
We decided to open presents before cake because we knew what she would look like after the cake! She didn't really know what to do with the presents. At first when we set her by them she just kept crawling away to go play on the cement. Eventually though after Lena and Nicole and I showed her how to rip the paper, she opened a few.
This is all she really wanted to do with the presents though, climb on top of them!
Cake Time!
I loved her face when she first saw the cake, it was like "give me that now!"
Then as we sang happy birthday to her, she just looked around at everyone with this scrunchy face as if to say, "what are you singing about?"
She started out very daintily just picking at the frosting...
The both hands went for it....
Then there was no holding back, it was into the cake and total annihilation...
Do you want some, Uncle Cole?
She just had to rub her eyes, I think chocolate is a good color on her, don't you?
Yummy!!!
When she was done and I had taken the cake away, she started clapping, it was so cute!
This is all that was left of her cake...
Cousins Nicole and Lena took care of what was left of the cake. Lena was mortified the whole time Jade was tearing in to the cake and let a big sigh of relief when I finally took it away.
She enjoyed riding in her new wagon from Heidi and Michael.
Aren't these two cute! Jade just loves her daddy!
Jade is into screaming really high pitched these days and she was practicing on her daddy!
Awww! We had to pause for a family picture.
The birthday girl with her balloons. She didn't quite know what to think of these and eventually ended up trying to bite them!
Hard to believe it has been a year already. Time really does go by fast. It looks like you guys had a really fun time at the party. You got some cute pics. She's a cutie. :)
ReplyDeleteHer party looked like so much fun! Akoy wouldn't touch his cake because he wanted to play with his new toys. Silly kids. I can't believe they are already a year old!!
