Instead of being couch bound and hobbling around like an old lady recovering from the less than perfect end to our birthing story like I was last year at this time….
We thought we’d throw a party!
We had a bunch of family and friends over to celebrate Sylvia’s first year. We are so blessed to have such a loving and supportive community to raise her in. No celebration would be complete without food of course – so we bbq’d (and as Brian guessed, I bought way too much – but left overs are good, right?). There were no fewer than 9 kids there ages 3 and under, because at our church we like to have babies in hoards. It was so much fun to get to hang out with our friends and celebrate the birth of our baby girl!
Lots of candy of course. I’m sure all the parents there loved me for this.
As you can see, we have really great party games. Like: how many 1 year olds can you fit on the stairs at once? Very fun. Very safe.
Sylvia being serenaded.
Sylvia’s reaction to said serenade. Apparently none of us should quit our day jobs.
mmmm…cupcakes.
Another one? Don’t mind if I do.
Happy Birthday! Looks like a great day of celebration.
