So, as I have mentioned Anna's 1st birthday was last Sunday and it went fairly well, but I wish I had made it just a little bit more low key. Most of Saturday and Sunday I was running around trying to get things done for our little family gathering and because I feel a little bit like a single parent lately, I was stressed, and to get things done I had to ingore my children a bit. Which seems all wrong, I should have been spending the time with them and enjoying her first birthday. But here is why I went a bit psycho...when Jacob turned 1, we were at this beautiful cabin with Wade's family and it was suppose to be so much fun, but as usual on the drive up the mountain I started not feeling so well. It turned out to be a really nasty flu ( that I gave to everyone else) and I missed Jacob's birthday, I didn't make the cake, and I could barely stand up to watch him open his presents, so I vowed the next 1st birthday would be different. I guess I have now learned my lesson. She missed her nap and was too tired to eat her cake, and wouldn't smile for pictures or rip open her presents...she just wasn't my normal happy little Anna. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the people that came and appreciated the support and gifts and we are so glad that everyone loves our Anna Banana as much as we do. Here are a few pictures of the big event...
The Cake...I have had a real thing about ladybugs, her room is ladybugs, her clothes are ladybugs and now her cake is a ladybug, she will even be a ladybug for halloween but after that I am done with the ladybugs.
Jacob blowing out the candle because Anna wouldn't.
The ladybugs head is made out of rice crispy treats so asa special treat Anna got to lick the spoon.

Happy Birthday to Anna! That cake is so cute. It's funny that you did one like that because I was thinking of a lady bug for Maddie too (a little different though). I know how things get crazy, but I'm glad she still had a good birthday. She's a way cute girl!
It is so cute that you put so much effort into their birthday parties- they will love that as they grow up!
I love that cake! And I'm sure when Anna is older she'll appreciate all your hard work as well!
