The BIG ONE

Friday, which happened to be Halloween, also happened to be Miss Squishy's first birthday. Not everyone gets a built in theme for their big day! This year will probably be the only year we have a big celebration ON her big day, so we decided to go all out!


Little Miss Witchy-Poo. LOVE her in this!

The guests arrived, my mom, brother Kevin...who was pretending to be Mr. Rogers, and my dad.

Little Ladybug Emily, Heidi and Glenn

Tyler, Bugs, Kris, and their Little Man.

My sister, Stacy, Rowdy, Anonymous Man, and Tally...the mother of my baby.

There were more, but my mother-in-law ran off to India before I could snag a picture of her.

The decorations were fun.

The food was great.

What kid gets TWO cakes??? The Spook...that's who!

She can't wait until the candle is even blown out.

Ready....Set....Go!

Their birthday is the one time we never really care about the mess. I strip off their shirts and let them have at it until the cake is thrown off the chair or until it is gone. You only turn one once! That is why they call them "smash cakes", right?

Every one of my children has gotten a bath in the kitchen sink after their cake.

Daddy made a video that Sophie LOVES!

She was spoiled rotten. The hit of the evening was a doll my mom got for her. She hasn't let go of it since.


Happy birthday pumpkin! We are so glad you are a part of our family! Life wouldn't be complete without you!
