DISCLAIMER: I apologize, kinda, for the length and number of photos in the following post.
But, last weekend we celebrated our little P's first birthday and I wanted to share it with everyone! The entire day was filled with sunshine {90 degree weather!}, family and the best friends we could ask for. We enjoyed southern strawberry and lemon almond cupcakes, apple pie {thank you, Auntie Kristi!}and homemade peach and vanilla ice cream {courtesy of Grandma Carol!}. Oh, and we had an overkill of PINK {Our motto is "it's never too much"}...
So, for those of you who had to miss this momentous occasion {or those of you who want to relive the day}... enjoy!
{yes, I made P's smash cake all by myself - homemade cream cheese frosting and all!}
{mom and I picked up fresh dahlias at the farmers market the day before and we used them down the table}
First on the agenda: Presents!
Next: Cake {not exactly her first taste of sugar - thank you Grandpa for the Twinkie}
{P making up to Rhys for trying to steal his hat}
After the presents & treats were gone, we let our sugar highs take us into the lake...

And what's a day at the lake without a ride in the paddle boat?
