Today we had Heidi's 1st birthday party. Her birthday is actually Oct 16th but we were trying to spread out the girls parties this year by doing Lilly's early in the month and Heidi's later. I'm really thinking the easiest thing to do next year is combine their parties. It's a lot of work to have two parties in one month!
We went with a Halloween costume party theme. I thought it would be fun for the kids (and most of the adults!) to get to wear their costumes more than once this weekend. It was quite the party and the kids really had a wonderful time. The Sponge Bob pinata was the biggest hit too! And to say Heidi enjoyed her cake is almost an understatement. She practically dove into it and tried to devour the entire thing. :)
Heidi in her witch dress. I tried my best to get her wearing the hat but she really isn't interested.
Heidi got such a kick out of Uncle Jeremy who dressed as Where's Waldo
The best one I could get of her with the hat on
Nope not wearing the hat mom! Nice try though! Oh and don't you love our pumpkin patch mirage in the background?
Bobby our fireman
What is it with my kids and wearing hats?!
Lilly as Scooby Doo. Not really in the picture taking mood. She changed costumes halfway through the party and decided to be Cinderella.
Nana the cowgirl
Birthday girl and her Dat
Where's Waldo, Baba, and Heidi
My brother Kevin as a Ninja Turtle. Believe it or not he wore this when he was like 8 years old!
My brother Jeremy in the entire Where's Waldo get-up
My nephew Barrett as Charlie Brown
Heidi's little pumpkin cake my mom made her.
Next are the cake pictures. I think they speak for themselves so I won't comment on each one.
My helpers Lilly and her friend Sofia. They pretty much unwrapped all the gifts for me. :)
After her cake we bathed her and let her party some more.
Bobby really enjoyed an orange frosted cupcake too.
The infamous Sponge Bob pinata. Man the kids really enjoyed beating him up!
Barrett and Heidi on the changing table after her bath. He was pretty tired by then and ready to nap. She was all sugared up from the cake and ready to play.
I had to throw this one in. Lilly came home from school Fri wearing a spider hat that she made. I think it's adorable. Don't ask why she's wearing a swimsuit on a Fri afternoon in Oct though...I pick my battles with her.
