Party Girl

6 Little Monkeys

9 months + 12 days of pregnancy, 47 hours of drug-free labor, and 365 days have brought us to the very special occasion of Robin’s 1st birthday! We celebrated on Friday with a trip to the park, one of R’s favorite meals of split peas and rice, and presents from the family. On Saturday we had a party with our Denver friends and the neighbor girls joined us along with Elsa’s dad, Don. The party was decorated with all things ‘Spring’ with gardenburgers and mac and cheese featured at dinner and lemon poppyseed cake with cream cheese frosting for dessert. We were hoping for some outdoor playtime for the kids but it was a rare cloudy afternoon here and everyone stayed indoors or on the back deck. Robin had a vanilla cupcake for dessert and did not hesitate to dig right in! She immediately ate a handful of frosting and enjoyed the cupcake until it fell on the floor, at which point we decided she was done. We had so much fun celebrating with friends in honor of R’s first birthday. Hard to believe a year has gone by – I wouldn’t want to imagine life without our Robin!

I didn’t even bother narrowing down the photos this time, they’re all too precious.
