Greta's 1st Birthday Party!

Greta's first birthday party last weekend was awesome.  It was a true hot and humid end-of-July day and we enjoyed it with our awesome friends and family!
The Dionne's came to ye ol' Woodstock Friday night and Greta got to open a few presents- since she already officially 1 year old!

The whole family helped get ready for the party with cleaning, cooking, and decorating.  Then our guests started to arrive.  They are a good lookin' bunch.

Greta wore her pretty party dress that she got at our baby shower last June!

We sang "Happy Birthday" to Greta and she really loved it!  She had an outfit change by then... always looking fab!



Happy Birthday to you, dear Greta!



"Mom?!  I thought the candle was for me!"

 

"Oh, I get a cupcake- awesome!"



Such a sweet girl!

Mother, daughter, cupcake, love



 That chilly water felt nice!

And then it was present time!  Greta got so much great stuff!

Thank you for everything, everyone!!

Now for the pinatas!

One artist and the birthday girl



The best pinata ever, handmade by Looka Pinata.

the other artist...



Mikey isn't so sure about this...

We made some sweet tie-dye shirts too!  totally radical, dude.



Overall, it was a huge success.  Everyone had a great time, especially Greta.  I am glad we have these pictures and our memories to show and tell Greta again when she's older.  I am so happy to be able to watch this sweet girl grow up.  She has a sparkling personality... a certain... Joie de vivre!
