Bella's Birthday Party

Bella's birthday party was on Saturday and it went off pretty well! I think everyone had a lot of fun...not Bella, but everyone else. Bella was fine as long as I was holding her and she was away from all of the people. When we all sang "Happy Birthday" she completely lost it. I guess it was one of those quintessential "baby moments".

This is our dining room decorated for the party.

The party was an "owl" theme, so I made an owl cake from a recipe I found online. It didn't turn out exactly like the picture, but I was still proud.

We finally convinced Bella to play with the cake...until her foot got messy...then she started crying.

This is a spring horse that Grandma and Grandpa Meyer got for Bella. She wasn't too sure of it at first, but she seems to like it now.

Grandma and Grandpa Wires got Bella a beautiful wooden rocking chair and also sent her a goodie box with clothes and a "first birthday" figurine. Here is a birthday cake toy that you can actually blow out the candles on!
