July 7th was a hot day. There was a heat index of over 100, but I suppose that is what happens with a summer baby! With the slightest breeze and some cloud cover, there was a bit of relief at times. The pool was there for everyone to use too, but of course at 90 degrees itself, it isn't too refreshing! We made it through though and had a super fun party for my baby girl!
Here is Paige the morning of her party - this girl can't pass up a chair and poolside!
And here was Nala the morning of the party - she is afraid of balloons so she was freaking out as I was using the helium tank in the kitchen. We had the gate in front of the stairs so since she couldn't get up there apparently this was the next safest place for her to be! Crazy dog!
Our menu was pretty simple with fresh fruit, ants on a log (celery, peanut butter, and raisins), chips, old-school watermelon slices candy, and of course watermelon wedges! We grilled out hot dogs and brats with a few sides.
Super fun cake!
There was eating and playing and swimming and cooling off in the house and lots of fun!
The before - super cute smash cake!
The after - to say she loved it is putting it mildly!
The in-between!!! (picture overload!)
"Are you really going to let me eat this???"
"Here you go Mom!"
Then she started to get funny - blowing raspberries and doing patty cake!
Luke couldn't help himself!
She got me in the nose!
Daddy's turn for some!
Then it was clean up time in the baby pool (a perk of being a summer baby is easy clean up!).
And back into her dress for present opening!
2 phones - one for each ear!
And here is some video of the cake eating if you have 6 minutes :)
What a great day with our family and friends! Thanks to everyone for helping to celebrate Miss Paige's 1st birthday!
What fun that was to see the cake eating over again! Such a happy,sweet,lovable,beautiful, little girl!! Love her so much...Grammy L
