Ryleigh's 1st Birthday Party :)

I took this blog from an old myspace blog....

Saturday October 7th @ 2:00 was Ryleigh's 1st birthday party. We went with the princess theme.

When the kids came in, they went straight to the play clothes & got "dressed up" ~ thank you Missy & Halle for sharing!!!! Here are some of their pictures.....

The dress up clothes was a huge hit!!!!

Yes, that's MY daughter going for the jewelry!!!! :) She's just like me ~ gotta have the BLING!!!

Princess Ryleigh :)

Her big bubby ~ Drew ~ he's so cute!!!!

Beautiful Halle ~ she's the "dress up" Queen!!!!! So sweet to share your dress up clothes with us ~ THANK YOU!

Precious Zoe ~ she was reluctant to get involved in the dress up thing ~ she was probably a little freaked out by all the "adults" getting SO involved!!!! :) We have to have fun too!

Diva Bailee (niece) ~ she was SO into this dress up party ~ wore the shoes that were 2x's her size & everything!!!!!! GO BAILEE!!!!

After everyone got dressed up ~ Mamaw set us all down for a special story that she wrote about Ryleigh & her special day! After the story each child present was given a part to play to act it out ~ it was SO fun ~ Mamaw is an awesome story teller & did such a wonderful job on this book!!! THANK YOU MAMAW ~ the kids loved it ..... OK OK & adults too!!!!

Next on the agenda.... THE CAKE ~ all the kids were ALL SMILES!!!
Ryleigh's loved this part too.... at first she was nice, prim & proper about the cake eating experience.....
But after a few bites to see how GOOD this thing actually was ~ well ~ let's just say the female part of her took over & it was all about eating the cake!After the she demolished the cake :) then it was off to the bathtub to get cleaned up before we could open presents!!!!! I know, I know ~ should have done present's 1st, but I wasn't thinking didn't think she would get SO IN to the cake ~ Drew was so nice & clean with his & I guess I just assumed she would be the same ~ but BOY did she fool me!!!!And yes.... all the other kids enjoyed the cake too ~ just not AS much.....

And yes.... all the other kids enjoyed the cake too ~ just not AS much.....
