Abby's First Birthday!

Teddy Bear Birthday Cake - Super easy cut-up cake using a 9" round cake pan, an 8" square cake pan, and two cup cakes for the ears. I just decorated it with butter cream frosting using a star tip. The miracle is that Abby napped long enough for me to get it done!

Birthday Dinner - Cheesy bagels from Smith's. Love'm, but I really did have something else a little more nutritious for Abby planned. However, sometimes little girls, especially birthday, girls get to have their way. It wasn't long after poor hungry Brian sat down with his bagel before Abby intercepted it and would not let go until it was thoroughly gummed to death.

 You'd think she was happy or something?  Pretty sure it was all the attention.

 We had lots of helpers opening presents.

 Abby's first taste of birthday cake. 

We think she liked it.........

 because she was clapping for joy!
The question is did she like it because it tasted good or because it was really fun to play with and dump on the floor?

Always happy to have a clean face again!

 One last present.......

 A rocking horse!  Almost like the one at Grandma Tanner's house!  She loves it:)  And of course all the cousins loved taking turns on it as well.

Beca, Damon, and Abby's best friend Vraina made it!  Abby gets so excited when Vraina is here.  She just wants to climb all over her.  Love her super cute skirt with matching hair bow.  I should make one for Abby.
