Bed with a Belly full of Cake

Everything a little girl turning one could want for her birthday. Family, friends, a tea party, kids to play with, cake and ice cream (and mama not too far away at any time).

I too will flop into bed shortly. It has been a long day. My girlfriend Andrea hosted a small birthday party for Lily since my house is still recovering from the kitchen reno. Lily loves playing with Andrea's two kids and lately when they are together I feel just a little bit better about having to go back to work early. I think Lily will do just fine in her daycare with a couple other kids near her age.

We made party hats and then noticed that most of the decorations were on the floor. Hmm not a good craft for the 1-4yr old crowd. There sure is a lot to learn for me on the party front.

There was cake, cupcakes, ice cream and an extra bowl of chocolate frosting for those with a very sweet tooth.

I had asked people not to bring presents and consider bringing a used toy that their child was not longer playing with. It was so much fun to see the toys that the little ones picked out for Lily. Then there was the exception when Lily opened this gift from Oma.....a mini Lily.

And what is a little girls birthday party without a nice pot of tea at the end of the day. Here is a pic of Lily and her very good friend Samantha sharing tea.
