Birthday Girl

We celebrated Paige's 1st birthday on Friday. Her actual birthday fell on Easter this year, so we improvised and had a whole weekend of excitement! We had a few friends and family over for a little celebration with pizza and cake and ice cream. For her birthday party I decided to go with a Minnie Mouse themed party including a birthday cake. I found a cute picture online and used an over head projector to enlarge it. Then I outlined around the picture and filled in the cake with frosting. I think the cake turned out rather nicely and was quite tasty! Paige was spoiled rotten, she got a few fun toys including a Hannah Montana microphone that lights up, she loved it. She got a big piggy bank with money inside it, a my little pony baby, a play cell phone, a musical toy, a popper toy (one that you push and the balls inside pop) and pretty much a complete new wardrobe, which I was excited about. She got the cutest Easter dress which she wore on Sunday (pictures to come) and I think she had a great time. She didn't dig into the cake and ice cream like Parker did on his 1st birthday. She had to have someone feed her a few bites and then she was done. She hardly made a mess at all and was more interested in the other kids at the house. We had a great time and are so glad we have such a fun little girl in our family!!
