We planned and planned and we finally got through Cecily's first birthday party. When she was born, I thought I didn't want to make her a big party and that we would just celebrate with close family. However, as I watched her grow into this amazing person, I just knew we had to celebrate in a big way.
We made her party a carnival theme. We made games, rented a cotton candy machine, hired a clown and a face painter, and had prizes for the kids.
This past Saturday, September 25, was her party. We were running a bit late in getting to the recreation center we had a reserved a room in. People arrived before we even had everything ready. But luckily they did show up, because they were a big help. The party started at 1:30 in the afternoon and the majority of people were gone by around 5pm. And we were EXHAUSTED by the end of it all. The kids had a great time though. Lots of smiles and laughter throughout the entire thing.
I am so grateful to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and family that came out to celebrate Cecily's first year of life with us. She got so many presents. Lots of clothes and toys.
I'm already thinking of what we can do for next year...
