Lets PARTAY!

My Birthday Girl!!!

Well today was the day, and it's over and my voice is gone (literally). Nevaeh's birthday party was wonderful and thank you so much to all who were able to come and celebrate with us!

Nevaeh took the crowd of people in our duplex very well and loved every minute of the attention! I hung all her decorations after she went to bed last night so she hadn't seen any of it until she got up this morning. The first thing she saw was the ceiling (picture below), pointed and ahhhhh'd. She loved all the presents and devoured the cake, as you can see above.

I thought the party was very nice and everyone had fun. There were, probably, at one point, 30 people in our small duplex at once and it never really felt like it was too crowded. I loved being able to host here and loved that everyone close to us were able to share in this wonderful moment with us!

Now, we just wait until Thursday when she really does turn one!

I made a large cupcake for her 'special' cake and this is what it looked like

before she got a hold of it.
