First Birthday Party For My First Grandchild

On Saturday Andrea and Mark threw Brie a wonderful first birthday party. Many family and friends were there including 4 1/2 Canadians (Andrea's childhood friend "Fred" is pregnant), and 2 1/2 from Alabama (Mark & Andrea's friend Ivy is pregnant, too).

Lady Bug was the theme of the party.

I was amazed at Mark's & Vadad's (Fred's husband) decorating abilities! They even decorated the foyer and the kitchen.


This child was in the best mood! She even wore a Lady Bug outfit (Thanks, friend, for that prophetic purchase months ago)



Brie is checking out Cady's little dress.

Aubrie's grandparent Brenda & Denny gave her a chair that matches their furniture. (Mark said the next day that she sat in this chair, very still, for 10 minutes watching Sports Center! Oh, to be the daughter of a sports nut. )


One of the few adults present that could fit in this small chair.



Can you tell that Brie's is saying "Ooooooo!"? She was so precious. She really watched and was excited about every present.

Cady wants one of these for her birthday!

Brie was so cute eating her cake. She loved the sugar!

So cute and so messy.


The highchair tray, which did come clean.


Silly smile


Love this picture! After some scrubbing, her stained arms and hands were clean. I'm not so sure about the highchair cover . . . .


We had a great time seeing our first grandchild celebrate her birthday. We had a blast with our family, Andrea's family and their friends.
