First Birthday Party

Audrey will be one on August 21st. She shares her birthday with my Mother-in-law and my niece, Laura. Since that would be 3 celebrations in one weekend, we decided to have Audrey's party this past weekend. Both sides of our families came together to celebrate our precious daughter! It was a great day!

You should be able to click on each picture to enlarge it-- I think.

Look closely.. Audrey is wearing a pearl necklace that we gave her when she was born. Each year we will add another pearl to the necklace. She now has two tiny pearls-- so precious!


We used my Granny's milk glass. I don't know of a better time to use it than at a baby girl's First Birthday Party!


Audrey, Meredith Grace and Laura all wore this smocked dress for their first birthdays! So sweet!

Audrey loved her smash cake! She started out by sticking one little chubby finger in the icing and after that first taste, she stuck her whole hand in!! When she was finished, there was barely any cake left on her plate. She shared what was left with her Great-Grandmother Matthews and her Daddy!


She received many nice gifts but I think she liked the wrapping paper and tissue paper the best! We are still playing with it today!


Friday will be Audrey's actual birthday and I can't wait to celebrate it with her even more. Maybe she can finish off the rest of her real birthday cake then?

We will be traveling home to visit and celebrate with Clay's mom on Friday night, and then for a LUAU for sweet little Laura on Saturday!
