Happy Birthday to our Clayton!!
We had a birthday party in Atlanta on Aug 10th so that all of our family that lives there would be able to attend without having to drive all the way to Arlington with gas as expensive as it is...it was just easier for us to pack up and go there! We had a great time! It was a very stressful day trying to get everything done and make sure that Clayton got a nap so that she wasn't grumpy for all of her guests. And we actually succeeded!!
We allowed her to have a "Grand Entrance" into the room where everyone was waiting for her...she had on a beautiful pink dress with a cupcake that had a one on it, a tiara (which didn't stay on long!!!) and squeaky shoes with pink flowers and rhinestones...she looked adorable!!!
We opened presents, but all she cared about was "Dora, dora, dora" which is what she continued to say for 10 minutes while her mommy opened all of her presents.
Then it was time for the cake...we had a HUGE cupcake as the cake for the guests, and all of the decor was from Birthday Express (which is another post within itself!!) and had cupcakes with "my 1st birthday" on them. The cake was from All In Good Taste from Texarkana, and it was excellent. They did, however, forget to make the smash cake...how in the world do you forget the smash cake...but they make on "quickly" while we waited at exactly 5 o'clock for them to make it! It didn't really matter what it looked like, Clayton was going to enjoy it.
So...we put her in her chair and get her ready for "cake." She did exactly like I expected her to...eating each little bite with two fingers SLOWLY-not wanted to make a mess. (If only she had this same philosophy with carrots, peaches, cantelope, etc.) After several minutes of bordom from her guests, her Aunt Ca-Ca decided to push her had down in the cake so that maybe she could taste the cake and not just the icing. That was not the cake, she only became temporarily left-handed because now the hand with cake all over it now longer was functional!! She was pretty much done at that point, and Mommy and Daddy were ok with that!!! We had a great time, but what work for such a short amount of "party!!"
That was only party #1...we still had another one to go on her actually birthday weekend in Arlington with the rest of our friends and family!!!
