Party Like It's 1999

Boy do we like to throw a party and for Lilly's first birthday, nothing was spared!  After months of planning, fretting, sweating and saving, the big day was finally upon us.  From the water table, to the ball pit, to the tunnel scape and back to the swing, there were activites for all the age groups.  Speaking of the swing, Poppa did such a great job!  I don't know how it was done, but my Dad, Paul and my brother built a swing in two days and it is amazing!  Lilly will get MANY years of use out of it!
As far as the rest of the loot, she made out like a bandit.  We definately have enough toys to host playdates now.  I have no idea where we are going to put everything and if I buy her a toy in the next 6 months I am going to put myself in time out.  haha!
Her smash cake never got "smashed" because just like her daddy, she HATES her hands to be dirty.  We tried and tried to get her to smush it but she just would not have it.  In the end, she did eat a little of it but only after I took the icing off and only gave her the cake.
I think the party was a success and if there was any indication that it was, all the parents were having such a good time that it lasted well into the late afternoon.  That's how we roll around here....
