'Tis So Sweet: Caroline's Birthday Party

Thursday, August 8, 2013

I've mentioned Millie Janalee's first little friend before. Well, as good of friends as one year olds can be. But their mamas are working pretty hard on this little class of 2030. Ha! Caroline is 12 days younger than Millie Janalee. Her birthday party was the week after Millie Janalee's. We were so happy to celebrate this petite little girl's first birthday!

Mary Anne, Caroline's mama, texted us the morning of the party asking to borrow the balls for the ball pit. Millie Janalee and Caroline had such a good time in the ball pit at our party...and we couldn't wait to get back in there! Only this time, the girls were practicing their standing skills and tossing balls out of the pool just so they could reach out and pick it back up. Ha! Such silly girls!

Caroline's party was apple themed...since she's the "apple of their eye." So cute! Her cupcakes looked like apples, there were apple themed cutesy things everywhere in the adorable colors of hot pink and green. She was a good sport wearing her precious little birthday hat while we stood around and sang "Happy Birthday."

There were also cute little baby Adirondack chairs in the front and back porches for the little bits to enjoy. You know we couldn't leave until we had our photo shoot. Annnnd....we learned how much more difficult it is getting to get pictures of these two together. Ha!

Millie Janalee and I stayed with the family to watch Caroline open her gifts. It was really more like Millie Janalee opening her gifts while Caroline played. You should have seen me trying to get Millie Janalee out of all the birthday gift pictures. I would pour puffs on the floor to get her attention. Then Caroline crawled over wanting some too. So, Mary Anne poured some for Caroline and Millie Janalee crawled over to that stash. No matter what we did, they wanted to eat out of the same pile. Oh well. Millie Janalee will be a permanent memory from Caroline's first birthday for the rest of their lives. Ha!
