Audrey's first birthday party!


This weekend we had Audrey's first birthday party! It has been rainy for the past two weeks, but the skies cleared for a few hours on Saturday, giving us a respite from the rain just in time for her garden-themed party at the park. We had lots of friends and family join us in the celebration. Since it was on Saturday morning, we served bagels, donuts, fruit skewers, juice, and coffee. We also had flower cupcakes and dirt cake with gummy worms, which the kids loved! Audrey enjoyed a banana muffin (dairy, soy, and egg-free!). The kids "goody-bag" was a shovel and a tin pail with a seed pack inside. The shovels were a big hit and the kids had fun digging up the dirt and real worms!

We had a wonderful time and the kids loved running around the park. We can hardly believe that Audrey will be one year old in just a matter of days!

All these presents for one little girl!

It was such a great party! I think Audrey had a wonderful time. She seemed to love her special "birthday cake". Ellie had a fabulous time with all of her friends there. It was fun watching her run back and forth from the tables to the playground. And it was great to see the girls' teachers again. Thank you, moms, for your hard work planning & preparing.

Don't worry, Grandma! Her actual birthday is the 24th. We had to have the party early because of plans for the next few weekends. This way she'll get two celebrations!
