We had Charlotte's first birthday party on Saturday in my parents backyard. The party was attended by all grandparents, aunts, and uncle; three great-grandparents; and one part-time sitter. She received WAY more presents that I expected (spoiled girl). I also did not at all plan for a "cake smash" thinking she wouldn't care for cupcakes, and I was super wrong about that! Luckily my dad had his camera and video camera.
Some pictures:
Food! (Kebabs and rice added after this picture was taken.)
Cupcakes. (Gluten free so this mama could chow down.)
Birthday girl in her sunsuit for the party. (It's a pink and orange Lilly Pulitzer outfit I got on eBay - it even had safari animals on it to match the theme! I bought a matching skort and we were very cute together, in my opinion.)
So many presents! (Yes, that is a bean bag in the giant bag. Yes, she is obsessed with it!)
Pool time!

What do I do with this thing?
I'll try smashing it into my face, like I do with all unknown objects, and see what happens from there.
Hmmm, I think I like this pink stuff!
Let me just get rid of this part with no delicious pink stuff on it so I can focus on the sugary goodness.
Yeah, I'm going to need more of this ASAP.
Bonus pictures from her one-year-old photo shoot:
(I'm neutral on the photoshopped butterflies, but I think it's just something cute her photographer did to share on Facebook. We don't have all the picture yet.)
Thanks for indulging in my AWing.

) I would share leftover gluten free cupcakes with all of you IRL!
