Party Time!

Since k's birthday is right around Christmas, it will always be difficult to try to plan her birthday parties/activities. However, we knew we had to do something for her first birthday! We decided to go with a snowman theme. My parents were gracious enough to host the party since our place would not have comfortably accomodated the thirty or so guests.

I had D take k for a walk right before the party so she would fall alseep and be well-rested. Sure enough, it worked:


There was cookie decorating and a cookie swap. Note to self: force people to take more cookies home so we don't end up with so many left-overs! I tried to make a "miniature foods" theme, so we had mini cakes, ice cream cones, sandwiches, veggies, chicken, etc. We even had a "mini bar" with toddler-friendly foods: cheerios, puffs, rice crackers, apple juice etc. Unfortunately, we do not have pictures to share :(

I will post more later...too much to do, and flickr is being difficult tonight.
