Sophie's Birthday Party!

Not too long ago, we got to celebrate this little cutie's first birthday!

We invited over all of her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. She started things off by showing off her walking skills....

After a yummy dinner of soup, salad, and rolls, we opened presents. I was immediately swarmed by children, eager to help!

While looking through all of the pictures that were taken, I found a lot like this...

As you can see, while everyone else was too involved in opening presents to notice that their picture was being taken, sweet little Tyler was cheesing it up for the camera. In a lot of the pictures, he would be the only one smiling! That is, until he discovered how soft Sophie's pillow pet was. Then he was a bit too preoccupied to notice the camera...

Thank you to everyone, Sophie loves all of her gifts!

After presents, we had cake!

Jonny and I spent pretty much all day making this thing. Unfortunately, we were short on time and I had to pipe on the frosting 5 minutes before the party. I was so rushed, that it turned out awful. I'm so mad I didn't take just 2 more minutes to make it look good!

Oh well. Try to ignore the embarrasing piping job, and just look at the rest of the cake :)

Sophie loved it so much, she did a little dance in her daddy's arms!

She powered through that cake, and ate a ton!

And even though she threw up after (which I felt bad about), she enjoyed every last bite :)

After cake, she was ready for everyone to leave. She was collapsed in Jonny's arms, waving them all out the door with a half-hearted flick of her arm. She wouldn't even lift her head or crack a smile. It was pretty funny to watch :)

All in all, I think it was a great birthday. We all had a lot of fun!
