Party On!

To celebrate Macy's 1st birthday, we had a little get together with our families. Being the first grandkid on both sides, she (OF COURSE) got spoiled. Brett and I stand firm on our stance that the oldest kid should get spoiled as a baby because they always end up getting the shaft later on in life. (Can you tell we're both the oldest? Ha ha!) I did comfort the brother and sister-in-laws by convincing them that all of their future kids would recieve all the awesome hand-me-downs. Spoil away!

Here is Macy is one of her favorite gifts, a mini tent that Uncle Chase and Auntie Bre picked up at Ikea. She absolutely loves it.

I opted for cupcakes rather than a regular old cake for purely selfish reasons. I don't like cake, but for some reason I adore cupcakes. I think it's the perfect cake/frosting ratio...especially if the frosting is cream cheese-yum!

She wasn't too keen on having an open flame so close to her face....

...but once the sugar kicked in, she was all smiles. I honestly think this is the most sugar she has consumed at one time. I was a little worried that she'd be hyped up all night, but she ended up going to bed just fine.
After she went to sleep, Brett and I were sitting on the couch marveling at the fact that we just celebrated our little girl's first birthday. Time flies.
