Isn’t she funny? She kept running off of the set. By the end of the photos she was SO OVER it. They came out well I think, despite her protestations.
Preparing for a first birthday party (or planning any party) is not exactly my cup of tea. I have ordered her cake, after spending months thinking hey, I’ll make one! With my own marshmallow fondant! Because, you know, I bake all the time, only not. I had visions of this:
What I ordered will probably look like this:

Well, I am sure it will look better than that. As long as it’s edible who cares right?
The biggest “wreck” so far on my part is the fact that I ordered my invitations and well,the party is on September 11th and I haven’t mailed them out yet. I also forgot to put a way to RSVP me, but I suppose most people who would be coming would tell us, right? Hey, more leftover cake for me if no-one shows. I like frosting.
What on earth do you get a one year old that would rather play with mail envelopes than toys? I was going to get her a wagon, but my mom apparently still has the one from when I was little. I’ve gotten her clothing, but seriously, how fun would that be to open? Not very.
With her birthday being 16 days away, and the party being 17 I am not even overly worried about it. Maybe I should be. I guess with everything that’s been happening lately, it just hasn’t been that important. It is important, but I’d rather have living family members there to celebrate with and no party, than dead ones and a big party. If that makes any sense. It probably doesn’t.
I need more sleep. Maybe I should retitle the blog “I need more sleep. Please excuse the rambling”

Brenda says:
She is so adorable! And she looks so happy!
Nicole says:
I’m hoping your cake turns out better than that! The pics looks great and I know what you mean about kids getting sick of photo sessions, its like their kryptonite.
Diane says:
She is so sweet! I can’t believe she is going to be 1 so soon!

Molly is too cute!! I hear you about the first birthday party. I am currently in the middle of planning Belle’s and some times I feel so overwhelmed. We have a few ideas for gifts. We have looked at the fisher price laugh & learn kitchen, and the laugh & learn music station. We were thinking of getting her a kitchen play set but we have a feeling Santa is going to be bringing that.
I have to keep reminding myself that it’s just a party that she won’t remember or care about. Take a deep breath and don’t stress. It will all come together.

So cute! Love the colors in her pics. For our boy’s first bday, he got a big cushy kid chair for the living room. He LOVES that thing still!
