By the time this post is published, it will probably be a week after Miss Halley’s birthday. Life has been super crazy and I haven’t even had a chance to look through the pictures yet. (Sidenote: In case you haven’t heard our family screaming cheers of joy all the way from the South, we are moving to Marietta (GA) in a few weeks. We finalized everything in a visit two weeks ago and we’ll be heading there mid-November. Also, Halley has been sick and Randy is recovering from strep. Fun times!)
So back to the big day. I didn’t want to do anything too crazy for HJ’s party. I figure we need to set the bar low while we can! We just did a simple cupcake theme. My sister is very talented and designed the invitation for us. (Randy asked, “Who are you going to send invitations to?” to which I responded defensively, “All of my friends. And Halley’s one friend.” I have extras in case you really want one!)
She also made a Happy Birthday sign (which will be used for years to come!) and cupcake toppers.
After being out of town and then having a stomach bug, Halley has been all out of sorts. She was not sleeping well last week and not taking naps during the day so she was one fussy baby. I felt bad that my family flew all the way to see her and she was a crank-pot. Thankfully, she was (mostly) back to her happy self before they left. This is pretty much what she did all day Friday…including when we went to get her one year pictures made.
We did a little family party on Friday so she could open our gift and the ones our families sent. At first Halley was overwhelmed but before long she said, “Mom & Dad, why have you been holding out on me for so long?!? These toys are so awesome! So much for plastic cups and golf balls.” Well she didn’t really say that but you get the idea…
Well, we have misplaced our camera in the packing chaos and these are all the pics I have for now. Give me a few days and we’ll get to Part Two!
