First Birthday Party

We were blessed to celebrate Lottie's 1st birthday with our family at the best place in the world, the Aero-Bee Ranch. We decided to do a Giraffe themed party since Lottie has shown a love of giraffes. I had a blast coming up with ideas on Pinterest and making them.

A special thanks to Sarah for making the giraffe streamers

As I mentioned here, the cake was quite an ordeal,but I was very happy with how it turned out. 

After decorating, we dressed Lottie in her special birthday outfit.

We started with presents while the goose was still clean. She was getting pretty good at opening them.

She received so many fun toys and several great outfits. We are so thankful to everyone!

Then, it was time for cake.

First bite

Lottie kept smiling like this at Uncle Brian--she was enamored with him.

The aftermath

It doesn't look so bad from afar, but cake was every where, including caked in her hair.

Here is a 3 minute video of clips of Lottie eating her cake. She didn't go crazy (after all she is a lady), but she definitely enjoyed herself.
