Birthday Bash....How did I forget??












For some reason I thought I put Birthday Pics up..Thanks Amanda for the reminder :) We had an awesome Birthday Bash For Annabelle's 1st Birthday. Although let me just tell you that Bday #2 will not be so big and extravagant. Would it be wrong if I cut and paste my next girls face on Annabelle's 1st yrs party pics?? Do I really have to do it all again. Yes, I was a crazy first time parent here and went all out. If Brad did not not stop me, I would of rented a pony and bouncy inflatable play pen for the backyard. Come on you only turn one once!
My memories of the big day:

Catherine and I staying up till wee hours of the morning decorating..mommy on a ladder (very high ladder) at 2am... We got back from Mexico late Saturday night.. party was Sunday.

Brad making his famous CAFE RIO burritos. They taste just like the real thing. So good!!!
My mom walking into the house with the cake that I designed. It looked just like I imagined. She drove an hour with it on her lap. I love her.

Annabelle walking around in her pink party dress with the fluffiest lacey pink socks I have ever seen. Pointing at all of the balloons in shock.

30 people at our house all here for Annabelle :) I love family and friends so close.

Annabelle's face when the chocolate came out of the pinata. Her little hands grabbing by the handful. Her face when she opened her present from Brad.. her favorite Reeces!!!!

Annabelle, Brad and I after the party taking a walk around the neighborhood in her new blue car. Her honking and waving the whole time in her little pink party dress.

Happy Birthday my SWEET ANNABELLE.
