My baby girl turns one year old on Tuesday.
Where has this last year gone?
Beats me. But we had a party today and I, for one, think first birthdays are kind of big deal. I mean I'm sure some people think what's the big deal? But it's a first for my little girl so it's a big deal to me.
What I didn't know is how stressful it is to plan a December birthday. Why is it so stressful? Because my brain is constantly flip flopping between birthday, Christmas, birthday, Christmas.
We finally had her birthday party today and it went great. I've been planning her birthday party outfit for about a month so here it is...
We served breakfast for lunch with a menu of chocolate and regular pancakes, sausages, and bacon. Of course we also had to have cake! Lola's smash cake (the smaller one you see in the picture below) was strawberry flavored. The main cake was Chocolate fudge with chocolate chips and peanut butter frosting. Daddy made these cakes, as always, and did a great job! The main cake was four layers high!
Yes, those are Funyons. At kids' parties (and adults for that matter) I think there should be Funyons and Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Why? Because they are ridiculous. And they're always gone by the end of the party so I know everyone likes 'em.
Lola also got her first jumping castle. I think she liked it!
She ate about half her smash cake and was really just wondering why everyone was singing to her.
And they meet...her first baby doll and stroller set, that is. She was in love. She couldn't see any other gift after that. She pushed and pushed that stroller until she was ready to go to bed.
We had a lot of good friends and family that made the party even better! And Lola kept her whole ensemble on the ENTIRE time. That's is amazing. But the princess was happy through the entire party so I was happy since the whole point was to celebrate this little creature that has brought so much joy and happiness into our family.
Happy Birthday, Lola!
