The First Birthday Party!

You must me thinking "But Eva's been 1 for a month already!", right? We wanted the entire family there, and my sister (Aunt Kathleen to Eva and Ethan) wasn't going to be home for spring break until mid-March, so after all was said and done, the party was scheduled for St. Patrick's day. And no, we didn't have green beer or anything like that. Just pink, pretty and princess. Officially, the theme was ballet, but Mommy ended up too lazy busy to make all the decorations, so it was up to the Princess party section at the dollar store! There's always next year, right?

We had both sets of grandparents over, Great Aunt Dixie and Great Uncle John, Uncle Mikey, Aunt Jen, Cameron, Uncle Kevin and Aunt Kathleen. It was a fun day, but thank goodness birthdays only come once a year - there is only so much frantic cleaning and cooking that I can take!

Sparkly pink princess cupcakes!
