Amelia's First Birthday

Amelia celebrated her first birthday yesterday and even though the day was busy, she had a blast. She loved hearing the happy birthday song, so we sang that song throughout the day. We had a few neighbors and friends over for some cake and ice cream. Suzanne and Stuart surprised us by stopping by on their way home from Vegas. Nathan had to work late on her birthday and he was really bummed about it. Luckily he made it home to see her eat her cake (which is always the best part of a party). We can't wait to celebrate some more this weekend with family. Life with a toddler has officially begun.


Our neighbor gave Amelia a baby sock monkey, for those of you that know Nathan you know that sock monkeys are his least favorite thing, so that was pretty funny.
Nathan made Amelia a log cabin out of a box. He believes all kids need are a box to have fun, he was right. Amelia loves playing in her cabin. Her favorite thing to do is to look at her birthday cards in the cabin.
Amelia unsure of the smash cake. I think she was experiencing some performance anxiety.
After a few tastes she realized "hey this is yummy!"


Pretty happy and running on a sugar high.


She loved opening presents

She's such a cute little 1 year old. I bet Parker would love that box cabin as well. And you are such a cute mom to be so creative & make two cakes & a fun little poster all decked out in a theme! Love it! Glad you had such a fun first birthday for Amelia!
