The cake

The greeting table.

The star cookie decorations!

I was so surprised at the number of people that showed up to celebrate the 1st year of my babies life with us. She is such a wonderful blessing to our family and truly does complete us. She has such a sweet disposition and is happy almost all the time. She is so loving and really likes her "mommy" time. One of her favorite things to do is take a bath and ride on her little bunn bunn. She has learned how to wave "bye bye" can say Momma, Daa Daa, Ma Ma (Madi), Bubba, Hey!, Nuh Nuh (no). She has learned so much and is really smart. She has not started walking yet, but is into EVERYTHING! I can tell she really is going to be a hoot!

We started out opening presents....and can I just say WOW! I can't believe at the number of gifts that she got. It took two people to go through all of them at home. It was like Christmas allll over again. I wished I had more room to post all the things she got, but Blogger would prolly charge me for extra space! Timmy and I got her this "BIG" girl cup. Isn't it cute?! I got it off of www.Etsy.com (check it out!) We have not completely weaned the bottle yet, but we are working on it.

She must have loved the cup because she would not let me take it from her. Next it was time to sing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" and blow out the candle. She did pretty good trying to blow it out, but she was more like "euwwhhhh, look at the light" and tried to grab the candle while it was still lit!

Good job Chloe Grace!

So we removed the top portion of the cake for her. As you can see, she didn't really know what the deal was, but she picked up quickly and figured out that it was something she could put in her mouth and it tasted pretty good!

Is this how I do it mom? YUMMMO!

Think she is enjoying herself?

I think so! She got pretty excited that she could make a mess and eat as much of that cake as she wanted to, and boy did she eat a lot of it!

"What? You want some of my cake? No way buster, get your own! DIS IS MINEEEE!"

As you can see, there wasn't much left! For those of you out there freaking out, no she didn't' eat ALL of it, but she did put a hurtin on that cake of hers!

Well hey there Bella! So glad you came to my party. I hope you are feeling much better now!

Thank you to everyone that came to Chloe Grace's birthday. Each and everyone of you are so special to our family and we love you dearly. Thanks Aunt Sheila, Madi and Tiffany for all your hard work and help in the kitchen. I could not have done it without you! It's been such an awesome year, I'm excited about many more to come. God has certainly blessed us with you Chloe Grace. We love you!

Wave bye bye!!!
