Alex's Party

So, I finally got the pictures from Alex's party and they turned out so cute! It was quite the day. Our only daughter turning 1. I must say that this year has flown by and it seems like she should till be a little baby sleeping most of the day, not running around the house.
Here is a photo of Alex and I talking to a guest at the party. We had lots of fun...pizza, cake, ice cream, and gifts. What a perfect day!

Here are some shots of me helping her open her gifts. I must say that she got lots of good things. You should have seen all the cute outfits that she scored. She seems to be amazed at the toy in this picture.
After several gifts she got the hang of ripping of the paper. I would start it for her and then she tear a couple of pieces off.

Her favorite part about this gift were the shoes. I had to take them from her to get her to move on to the next thing!!


Ah, the doll house. She absolutely loves this thing. It is still a little big for her, but she likes taking the characters out and putting them back in. If you have any small girls that you need gifts for this Christmas I highly recommend this toy. It has other pieces to go with it...kind of like a village.

Here is one piece of clothing that I had to put on here. She looks so cute in her styling jacket.

After most of the gifts were open Luke comes over to pick out which gifts he wants for himself. As you can see he is trying to make a run for while I have my back turned.

And now for the cake.
Alex was really not sure what was going on at this point. Gifts, cameras in her face, and all these silly people saying "Happy Birthday". She just looked at everyone like they were crazy.
She is going in for her first bite of cake by herself. I thought for a second that this could be ugly, but she really did not make that big of a mess.


However, she felt that her cup needed some special attention so she pushed it into the cake.



I decided to step in and help her out before I took the cake from her. Overall she was not that excited about the cake. She took a few bites, but she did not tear into it like some kids.





Happy Birthday Alex!!
We Love You!

Yeah! Birthday pics! We had tons of fun at Miss Alex's 1st b-day party and she was way too cute toddling around after all of the BIG kids. I just want to eat her up. And the clothes...I'm jealous! She is definitely going to be sytlin'.

BTW, I love the new pic on the sidebar!!!

Very cute! What a fun first birthday party. I really enjoy it when babies tear into their cakes, but maybe it's a boy thing. After all, Laney cried.

Happy Birthday Alex! Love the way her cake is decorated-very classy. I'm sure she will be glad to have some "girl toys" of her own since she has two big brothers!

I've looked at this post a few times but every time I try to comment, my almost one year old wants to be held. Miss Alex made out! Glad she had a wonderful party. I love the coat too! I hope I get a girl when I have another baby.
