Vivian is ONE

This little angel turned one on May 20th and boy were we ready to celebrate!

We made cupcakes, cookies and cake.

I loved how the cupcakes turned out with a 1 sugar cookie in each. Thanks for the idea, Jen.

The cookies were delicious and I loved seeing her beautiful name on the platter.

This cake resembled a pink Jabba the Hut cake at first, but with some encouragement from Marc, I persevered and made it look a bit more presentable.

We played a game where each person put their name in a cup for what they thought Vivian would do when she grew up, later she chose an item that went with the field . . .

Our beautiful birthday girl. Is she really one???

Vivian Rose, we love you to pieces.

Uncle Kevin stopped by to wish her a happy birthday.

So did Aunt Jennifer. Such a loved little girl.

David loved "helping" her open her presents.

Choosing her future career: the keys were for public service, the book for education, ballet shoe for the arts, stethoscope for medical and rake for industrial. She chose the keys so we drew a name from the Public Service cup and Uncle Kevin was the big winner!

The traditional eating of the cake on your first birthday . . .

Tastes pretty good. Again, David is "helping".

I think we should have Mom do this every day . . .

Lucy is going to "help" too. Such great siblings Vivian has.

She is an adorable 1 year old! So sad we couldn't make it -I had to take my gestational diabetes test and it took too long and made me feel like a zombie for the rest of the day.
