Tristyn will be turning 1 next week, so we had a family BBQ/party for her on Sunday while some family was in town. She slept through dinner but got up just in time for cake! She hasn't ever seen us blow out candles on a cake, but she seemed to know exactly what to do . . . or maybe the puckered lips were in awe of the mound of frosting in front of her!
She did have real dinner before the cake (I know, I'm no fun), so she didn't have much of an appetite for it. She took a few little bites, but didn't really dig into it. Any cake she got on her hands, she tried to wipe off on her shirt.
I didn't really have time to get special decorations, so I pulled out a few that we used at Mason's 1st birthday party. The party hat wasn't her favorite! In the first photo of the post I was holding her arms down so she didn't pull it off.
She had a great time opening gifts and got two super cute sun dresses from Diane and Cheryl, a Minnie Mouse bowl and plate, a stuffed dog that she snuggles with at every nap, a fabric Winnie the Pooh book, a magna-doodle, and a toy Piggy Bank, that incidently only speaks Spanish (that was an oops on my part--hopefully they'll trade it so we can actually understand it!).
Thanks to everyone that made a special trip down for the party. It was a crazy weekend, but we had a lot of fun. Thanks especially to DanaRae, Damian and Braxton, who stayed the weekend and watched our kids while we went to Park City for our anniversary and who wore out our kids!
Speaking of our anniversary . . . it was our 7th on Sunday! I can't believe that it's been that long, but I guess time flies when you're having fun! It's been a great 7 years and we have two super cute kids to show for it! I'm lucky to have found such a great husband and look forward to many more terrific years with him!

I can't believe that she is going to be one already. Where did the time go? She is too cute.
