We celebrated Evelyn's first birthday on Saturday, March 16th with a butterfly themed party. Grammy came a week early to help with everything.
Getting an after nap snuggle with Grammy
Mom also put together Evelyn's photo album so that we could share it at the party.
Watching Grammy work.
Evelyn had her wrestlemania fun!
More fun with Grandma and Grandpa who spent the day with us Thursday and Friday.
The Rennie crew arrived late Friday night. All the cousins played with Evelyn's toys in the morning.
The dining room transformed into the birthday room.
Grammy and I hung these portraits in time for the party without even using a laser level!
The gift table.
Evelyn over the last 12 months.
The smash cake.
And birthday cake.
Mom made this pretty butterfly and clothespin decoration with Evelyn's photos.
Guests arriving for the party.
Evelyn wanted nothing to do with her cake. I tried to get some between her pursed lips...guess we should be happy she likes vegetables better!
Look at those tears:(
But she perked up for presents! Grace was a big help opening the gifts, and she got so many wonderful things.
Tommy in the wrapping paper.
Vivian played soccer with Tommy and Grace...he told Vivian that he was going to marry her;)
Ava took pictures of the party for me with my camera...she did such a great job!
Afterwards it was family photo time.
We were so happy that the weather on Saturday was beautiful and 70 degrees. We relaxed on the back deck and watched Christopher and Brian play Harry Potter with Grace and Tommy.
We tried to give Evelyn cake again after dinner. She would only put it on her finger for Tommy to lick.
Then, she enjoyed stirring it around and making a mess.
She definitely had a bath that night.
In the morning it was playtime and breakfast before everyone left at 9.
Tommy helps stir the pancakes.
Evelyn has cereal with Pap pap.
Grace has eggs with Grammy.
One last cuddle with Aunt Michelle.
Thanks for making the trip everyone! I think Evelyn had a great first birthday!
