We decided we could not, not have a first birthday party for Nicholette and feel good about ourselves, so we invited the neighbors (The Coburn's, The Olsen's and The Twiley's), an old roommate of mine and her husband and little boy Thomas, Lydia and her husband Adam with their little boy, Rigby, who has a crush on Nicholette, a co-worker of Todd's with his wife and of course the McNabb's. How could we have a birthday party and not have little Brita McNabb, Nicholette's BFF. When it came to cake time, we put Nicholette in her buster seat and lit her birthday candle.
I blew it out for her and pathetically it took me two breaths to extinguish that little flame, I hang my head in shame. But after the song, no more candle Nicholette didn't know what to do! So I took her right hand and plopped it onto the cake. Okay......Then I plopped her left hand onto the cake. She seemed to be getting the picture then. She didn't demolish it like how I had pictured it in my head. But stabbed it a few times with a spoon and disfigured about a 1/4 of the cake. Here's a clip of her after she "dug" into it and she seems to be enjoying it. (Notice the table is finished!)
After Cake we opened gifts, well I opened them for her and she played with the boxes. She enjoyed having her little friends with her to celebrate her birthday. Our apartment was at full capacity! (Not that that is difficult to do) But we had a lot of fun. Her are some pictures of Nicholette and her guests.
Nicholette and Thomas
Say "hello" Brita!

We came, too.
So cute! Happy birthday beautiful girl!! I can't believe she is a year already. That means Sohpie only has 3 more months til she's a year! It went way too fast. So, I'm "tagging" you. Hopefully you haven't already done it. Look at my blog for rules and such. It's kinda fun. Enjoy!
