Rhys' 1st Birthday Party

The Birthday Girl!

She really didn't like the shoes on her feet.  She did everything she could until she got them off!

We had Rhys' first birthday party on the 28th for close family at the house. Rhys was in a pretty good mood and I think she had a lot of fun!

I found some cute ideas for a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme online. Fun, bright colors!

 (Sorry Patty - this is the only good picture I have of Ryan!  You are smiling in the others, but he is hiding his face - don't worry, there are worse pictures of me to follow...)

The cousins had fun playing together...

 And then they discovered the wagon.  Grandpa gives good wagon rides...

Time for some food...

And some presents.  Rhys got lots of fun new clothes.

And she just loves this baby doll..

Papa's turn for wagon rides.

I love this picture - both grandpas giving rides to the kids..

And their audience:

The CAKE!  I love how it turned out.  I took a picture to Arroyo Grande Bakery and they made these fun cupcakes.

(This is as close as we got to a family picture)

Not too sure about this cake business.

 But, she decided she liked it after all!

This was our attempt at a family picture.  Hoping some day everyone will want to participate.

The cousins eating cake.

Mason & Olivier with their green faces.

Natalie's turn.

The Fagundes cousins decided they were tired.  Can't see their faces, but they were all laying on the couch "going night night".

A great day with family!  Thanks to everyone who shared Rhys' birthday with her.
