Happy Birthday, Cupcake!

Our little cupcake is 1!

Happy 1st Birthday, Waverly!

Needless to say, we had a big party! Mommy worked really hard party planning and all my family helped out babysitting, baking and decorating to make it happen.

I was very excited on my birthday!

Check out my tutu!

Let's get this party started!

Waverly loves Balloons! Emphasis on Balloon, since she called it a "ball" all day long! She thought that was the best thing!

We had lots of veggies and dip, cheese and crackers and banana roll ups and pizza snacks! And...drum roll please... over 200 cupcakes! Mommy and Mamaw Gail worked hard baking and decorating. It was so much fun, and from what I hear, everyone enjoyed them!

Time for CUPCAKES!

Waverly's cupcake and candle said "Birthday Girl". We all sang Happy Birthday, led by Papaw Allen (thanks, Dad!), and when it was time to blow out her candle...
she ran for the hills!

Don't worry, Waverly, I feel that way on my birthday sometimes too!

With a little convincing, Waverly chose the smallest crumb of cupcake and took a bite.

Then it was on...

Yum, Yum!

Tanner and Waverly

Those two... can you be much sweeter?

Waverly with her bestie Roxy!

The girls had fun playing with each other for a bit. Roxy was kind to let Waverly give her dolly a hug! I think Roxy enjoyed coloring her picture of a cupcake and using her princess stickers!

Tanner liked showing the girls how to dance!

Time for the Pinata!

All the little kids had fun pulling the strings on the pinata! Each pulled and hoped that all the goodies inside would tumble out! I was surprised at how well everyone took turns. We've got some well-mannered kiddos!

Of course, they liked playing with the ribbons, too!

Yay! Fill those treat bags!

Playdoh, candy, and little toys!

Then it was time for gifts! Yay!

To make this quick and fun, we invited all little kiddos to join in and help Waverly unwrap her gifts! They were so great! Everyone unwrapped the presents...

even Papaw joined in!

Gimmee, Gimmee

and

thanks, thanks!

Papaw and Tanner unwrapped a dolly for Waverly.

Waverly with her other bestie, Annie

The girls were excited over this tea set - they just kept going back to look at it!

Annie, want to come over for a tea party?

Waverly's friend Landen did a great job of unwrapping things for her. Both he and Cherokee would unwrap a gift and be sure to show it to Waverly. Such great helpers!!!

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts! Thank you cards are forthcoming, but not detailed due to the chaos of the moment. I can tell you that Waverly will be enjoying all her toys and clothes! She will think everyday is her birthday!

*Giggles*
Girlies... ok, we will schedule time for tea!

Thanks for showing me everything, Cherokee!

Surrounded...

Mine?

The kids had a blast!

Waverly saying bye-bye to Landen!

One last big present...

Tanner was waiting patiently for Waverly to open this one... And then he decided to help...

Yay ~ a play kitchen!

Waverly kept giving hugs to cousin Nic! She was lovey-dovey after some cake!

Waverly and Daddy... Daddy gave her a sticker to hold!

We would like to thank all of our wonderful friends and family for making Waverly's birthday bash a success. She had a great day and we all feel so loved!

Once again, Happy Birthday, little one!
