Lauren's 1st Birthday!

We had Lauren's 1st Birthday Party at Jason's parents' house in Alabama. It rained the whole entire day, so we had to end up having the party indoors, and eating on the front porch. Even though it was not exactly as I had envisioned it, I think it was still a fun party! There were about 30 people there! Here are some pics of the festivities!

Lauren ate some strawberries with Nana Debbie. I don't think I have to mention how much she LOVES strawberries! :)

Her butterfly cake!! Her whole party was pink and green with butterflies!

me removing the flowers so she wouldn't eat them! :) She LOVED the green dots!

eating the dots...

not too sure about this cake business..

then she started loving it!

yummy!

making a mess!

then she started rubbing her eyes....not good!

COVERED in pink frosting!

she never really did just "dig in" like I hoped she would....(we'll have to talk about carbs...they are our friends! :) But this is how she looked before she got a quick bath!

Finally, a family pic..too bad Lauren wasn't looking at the camera! She is wearing bday outfit #2 for obvious reasons (*see previous pictures!)

Time for a few presents!

Lauren loved the cards, she thought they were books!

It really was a fun party, but I was relieved when it was all over. And a little sad. You only get the have a 1st birthday once. So, I hope that Lauren enjoyed it! I know she won't remember it, but we have lots of pictures and video for her to see one day! Now I need to start planning for the next party.....HA!
