little lady party

Sophie is ONE and her little lady party was a blast! We celebrated the fun day with FAMILY!! Grandpa and Grandma Noorda, Paul, Cami and Ethan, Julie and Tayla, and Grandma Hawley! Sophie was so cute in her little ladybug shirt and converse shoes. Love them. She totally rocked some cute fashion on her big day.

We started out the party by swimming - I forgot the the sunscreen - WHOOPS - so Sophie's cheeks got a little sunkissed. We then had polka dot pizza (pepperoni), salad, watermelon, pineapple, and black spots (oreos). Ha ha. That was my attempt to be creative with the food.

We played a "collecting the dots" game with all the kiddos. Who knew that picking up little red pieces of paper could be so fun. Ha ha. They were running around in the grass picking up as many red dots many as they could - and eating them. HA.

Then we had cake! Daddy made it - he makes all of our cakes. It's those dental hand skills being put to good use in the kitchen! Ha ha. The cake was AWESOME! This year he took on a ladybug and I have to say it turned out quite fabulous! It took him THREE hours just to ice the thing! We sure love you Daddy. Sophie also got her very own LITTLE cake - unfortunately our kids just don't like cake. Sophie was all excited about the candle and then when it was time to eat the cake she didn't really give us any reaction. She tasted it - fingered it a little - and was done. Bella was the same way. What's up? Ha ha.

After cake, we opened presents! Sophie got some way fun presents and cards! Thanks everyone! And thanks for making Sophie's first birthday so special! We sure love our little ONE YEAR OLD!
