Mia's 1st Birthday Party

The day is almost over. Mia went to sleep at 5:30pm for the night because she was so tired from her big day. And what a day it was!!

We decorated the undercover picnik spot up at the park with pink and purple balloons, pink and purple streamers, a happy birthday banner and a couple of table cloths. We baked the cupcakes for the flower cake the night before but did all the icing this morning before the party. Then came cutting up the fruit, cutting the cheese and kabana and cutting the veggies for the veggie platter. Finally it was party time!!

Unfortunately the humidity was at a ridiculously high level so it was pretty stinkin' hot but other than that we all had a great time. The kids chowed down on the food, we sang happy birthday and ate cupcakes and finally we opened presents. Thank you to everyone who came - it was such a special occasion.

Mia was SO overtired by the time we got home. I gave her lunch and she didn't go to bed for a nap until 1:30 and she only slept for an hour so we spent the rest of the afternoon with a VERY crabby baby. But now she is asleep so hopefully she feels better tomorrow!!

Here is the finished cake...



I will post more photos when I get the CD of them from our "official photographer" Mia's Godfather David.
