We were so lucky to have Cora's family together for her party on Sunday! Grandmas and grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins and Sarah's family all came together to celebrate her first year!
We had snack foods she enjoyed too--namely the fruit and rollups, that Amara helped me prepare, and were a big hit!! (Especially the pink fluff fruit dip).
Cora was quite the little hostess! She toddled around to greet all her guests, flashing her crooked smile and immediately demanding attention!
There were a total of 5 kids 4 and under, Jonathan, Amara, Gideon, Coulter, and Cora, and the 5 of them really enjoyed each other and played well. You don't think about there being that many cousins already but sure enough, we have a little play group!
(Her beautiful cake!)
Cora was dainty with her cake--I remember my mom saying I didn't like the cake on my hands and I don't think she did either--well, that, and she was still feeling pretty icky from her cold. She did take some swipes of icing though and shared the penguins and polar bears with her cousins and friends. Though she didn't tear into the cake, she snagged several bites from folks during the party.
Luckily, big sis Amara stepped in to help with presents. We played with a few of them, but she was more interested in the kids--and that was just fine.
After a few hours, she was wearing down. It was quite funny, as Amara was ushering folks out the door, she rushed upstairs to draw a bath for us (we heard the water going) and we got to break in Cora's new whale bath toy right away.

(SO much packaging!!--especially when I just want to play!)

We had a great party with lots of fun and laughs and a sweet little one-year old birthday gal. Happy Bday little lala. We love you!
