Nattie received some very nice gifts...lots of cute clothes, a few toys, and some money to put away for later. My mom and dad gave her a hand-painted, wooden cradle that I got when I was one-year-old. The cradle has my name painted on the side and my mom had Natalie's name and birth date painted, as well. It's so fun to have some girly stuff in the house!
Some of the party people...I don't really know how the great-grandparents managed to escape this photo opp?! The ladybug party hats are so flattering (especially on the men)...don't you think?
Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday dear Nattie...Happy Birthday to you!
She LOVED the cake. She ate a whole lot. I think this explains why she was wide awake until 11 pm...sugar high!
"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to..." All good things must come to an end, right? It really was a fun day...and this year has been extra special because she's a part of our family!
