The Birthday Party

After naptime, we worked on getting Rachel in her party dress! I based her cupcake theme party off her dress! Cute huh?I had the hardest time getting her to sit still for a picture!So we worked on trying to get some cute ones in the high chair! I tried really hard to get some with her hairbow on, but she had that headband off faster than I could step out of the way. I probably have 20 pictures of her with her hands up or her bow already off...I finally took it off the headband and attempted clipping it in her fine, short hair. It was the best one we got!Once the guests arrived and we ate pizza, she got to open her presents:The other kids loved watching and trying to help!Then it was time for the cupcake! Here we were singing Happy Birthday!Then we took off the cute dress for the real fun!Caedon, Taylor and Hannah eating their cupcakes!

Then we got GiGi and PaPa on the computer so they could watch via Skype the rest of the cupcake fun!This is the final picture of the mess before the bath!We went down to our basement playroom so the kids could play and tried to get a pic of all the kids. Nothing is more complicated than trying to get six kids this little to look and smile. I have no idea how the Duggars ever get a good family pic! Here are Taylor, Caedon and Cole Meyer, Hannah and Rachel, and Eli Day! As you can tell, it didn't work too well! We had a great time celebrating our little Rachel and this big day in her life. I know that she will have no memories of it, but I will have pictures to scrapbook and show her how we celebrated her first birthday!
