Alaina's 1st Birthday Party

We had Alaina's 1st birthday party on Saturday, April 4th at Grace Community Church in the gym. It was so great to have a place for all the kids (and grown-ups) to run around and play. Alaina was totally oblivious that the party was for her, but we had a good time.
She had a cherry chip cake with cream cheese frosting. I always try to decorate a fun cake for the girls for their party.
She devoured the cake.
She didn't need any prompting, she just dug right in.
She was a mess!
We try our best not to let our girls have sugar before their 1st birthday. I think she discovered what she'd been missing.
Gotta love that smile!
Alaina and Nana with her baby.
She had fun playing on the riding toys.
Paige enjoyed the party, too. Here she is pulling Auntie (Kathy), Aubrey, and Cameron.

Isn't she big stuff!
Nana and Papa gave her this Little People Circle Zoo. She really likes it and has to fight Paige to play with it.
Nana gave her her first baby.
I think she liked the paper more than what was inside. I guess that's how it goes.
Unkie and Auntie gave her some sippy cup labels with her name on them. Mommy was SUPER EXCITED for these!!!
More paper, please!
All this fun is exhausting!
We ordered pizza from Pizza Hut, and had cake and ice cream.
Thanks everyone for making this a great party.
Auntie, Aunt Jenna, Uncle James, and Aunt Amber look like they are having a good time!
Evan Springer taking Alaina for a ride. (He's just a couple weeks older than she is.)
Paige played with the balloons for a long time.
We missed you Grandpa and Grandma Safly and Uncle Mat and Aunt Myra. Sorry you couldn't be here!

Wow, that looks like some major fun!! I loved seeing the familiar sites!! That high chair was our second one at my mom's house, lots of memories in that chair too!!

Isn't it amazing how fast that first year goes in retrospect?? She is so adorable!
