Brooklyn's 1st Birthday Party

It was a beautiful day to celebrate Brooklyn's birthday! Most of her cousins came along with the grandparents, aunts and uncles. We did a "Flip-Flop/ Hawaiian" theme. Everyone got lei's, and the girls got flowers for their hair. We ate too much junk and played way too long in the sunshine. A fun day for all. 


Most of all the gang made it...Brooklyn ate 3 cupcakes. She's my eater!
Way to show them how it's done, Thor!




Opening gifts...

Envying cute outfits she received. She also got some awesome toys! Thanks everyone!

My friend Amanda, who I taught 2nd grade with at Carden, and her husband, Joe, showed up. We had always talked about getting together for a double date, but that was like 4 years ago. They came all the way from Lake Forest to hang with us. We ended up hanging out with them the rest of the evening so we finally got our double date. We had a great time with them!

It looks like she had such a fun Birthday!!!! I so wish that we lived closer to you guys. The first year goes by so fast. It's always bitter sweet to see them grow up.
