The biggest part of planning for Katie's party was building a deck on the back of our house. We ended up having to jump through a lot of hoops to build a simple deck, but we were thrilled and relieved that it was finished four days before the party. It was a great, shady place for the adults to gather and chat and the kids to dance and play.
Katie had five little guests and their families at the party, plus our closest neighbors. From left to right below (lined up for the birthday parade): Andy and Brian, Katie, Benjamin, Lachlan and Luisa.
After leading the parade around the yard, Katie tried her first birthday cake. At first, she didn't know what to do with it.
Even after she figured it out, she was pretty tentative with it, just tasting the icing...
...and sharing it with Mommy and Daddy.
Birthday cake is fun!
We finished with a pinata, and after everyone left, we opened all of the wonderful presents Katie received. Opening presents is fun, too!
Thanks to everyone for a wonderful first birthday!
