1st Birthday Party

Holland's 1st birthday party was fun. I never had any idea how tired you can feel after throwing a birthday party. After the cleaning, decorating, partying, and then cleaning again, we are exhausted. The Zoo theme was so cute! We even had a sign out on the front yard and all the coordinating decorations. We had a sandwich tray and chips for everyone.

After eating, we opened gifts. Holland was involved for just a few of the gifts. All the cousins had to come help because Holland was too involved with a card.

On to birthday cake! Holland did not make a mess at all. I think once she got the icing on her hands, she felt a little icky, so she would only eat the cake if we fed it to her. She's a dainty one year old girl!

After cake, we had a pull string pinata that was fun for the kids. Even Holland enjoyed squishing the candy with her hands. Then they played Wii Dance Dance Revolution. What a day! Holland is actually taking a quick nap right now. She was so exhasted after all the festivities. I think she had a great first birthday! Can't wait for her 2nd birthday!

Happy Birthday Holland! We love you!
