Addison's first birthday. Wow. First, I had a hard time believing it was time for her to turn one. Then again, she was three months when we got her, so maybe in my mind it was only time for her to be turning 9 months old. Ha. I wanted to make her first birthday special, not because she was turning one, but because it was her first birthday with us. Lorelei's first birthday with us was when she turned two and we had a fun party for her, so we wanted to do the same for Addison.
I asked Lorelei, who was two at the time, what kind of party we should have for Addison. She first said we should have a "monster party, but not the nice kind. The scary kind that would make all the children cry. Especially sister." That was no good. But at least we know after nine months that nothing had changed. Lorelei still didn't like Addison all that much. ;)
Finally Lorelei decided on a nice cupcake party. Which was great because that made it SO easy for me. We had it at the playground and invited all the little friends. It was so fun, and even though Addison won't actually remember it, we are so glad we got to celebrate her first birthday in such a special way. Sans monsters.
cupcake shaped Cake Pops that we made. Yummy. If you're into that sort of thing ;)
After eating her cupcake with lots of reluctance, she thought the paper would be a nice 'hat-hat', as she would say

This giraffe came from Tete Alex and Uncle John and she loved it from the first moment she saw it. Almost a year later and it's still one of her very favorites.
