Mikaela's first birthday was April 23 and I had her party the following Saturday, April 25.  I was a little slow at getting these pictures posted, obviously.

The weather was beautiful, so we had a setup outside with a rented tent, tables, and chairs.  The theme was cupcakes/pink mainly.

We had a pretty good turnout with about 30 friends and family members there and she got a lot of gifts, which were all greatly appreciated.  It's just so hard to believe that my baby girl is 1 already!!

 

 

 

 --- the tent setup

 

guests mingling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 --- birthday cake.

 

 

the beginning of her own cake.

 

 

 

 

 

she fell asleep! 

 

 

 

 

 

getting ready to dig into the cake by herself.

 

 

 

 

 

but, she needed dad to really get going. lol

 

 

 

 

 

the end result of the cake.

 

 

 

 

 

...and the end result of Mikaela

 

 

 

 

 

the gift table

 

 

 

 

 

opening gifts with dad.

 

 

 

 

 

and my sister, monique, and niece, delilah.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And there are some of the photos from Mikaela's FIRST birthday party!  It was a great, but busy day!  There are more photos on the reel at the bottom.  I was just happy that the day turned out to be great!

Mikaela is more adorable than ever! I can't believe she is a year old already. That sure was a fast year. Treasure your time with your little girl, Whitney. She will be grown up in no time.
