First Birthday Party!

Such a great day to have a party--warm, sunny, and not too humid. Dad and T.J. set up the tents and pools, Mom and I got the food ready. I was especially proud of the duck cake that I made--the bathtub was a rich, dark chocolate (first time making the recipe but definitely NOT the last!) and the duck was a lemon pound cake. I think I'll let the pictures tell the rest.

Getting Ready:
The decorations:Sign says, "Caution, duck crossing"(Note the duck feet across the sidewalk)
Bronwen in the suit Aunt Kadee, Uncle Scott, and the girls gave her:
Some of the guests:Great picture of Natalie kissing a duckThe pools seemed to be a hit!

(It got too hot outside for some)

The cake:I actually wrote her name on it--not too misshapen, I thought! Aunt Jana and Uncle Pete sent the yellow roses:Singing "Happy Birthday":

Tasting the cake:I think she liked it!The gifts:Finally, the birthday girl with her Daddy.
After all the guests left, Bronwen slept for two and a half hours. I think she had a wonderful day!
