Happy 1st Birthday Ally! Ally turned 1 on November 23. We had her birthday party on November 17, since her actual birthday fell on the busiest shopping day of the year! We had around 25 friends and family members over to help us celebrate. We had a yummy cake from Taylor's Bakery. Ally wasn't impressed with the cake. I think next year, we'll just go with a cheap cake from Marsh!
A few days after the party, Ally has more fun playing with the tissue paper that came with the toys than she does with the actual toys!
Ally, being the dainty little girl that she is, only poked at the cake. There was no smearing, smashing or smushing. She didn't even want to taste it! Ice cream was a no-go as well.
Our "Thanksgiving Spread". We hosted around 30 members of Chad's family and my dad and brother for Thanksgiving dinner. Chad's mom and dad came over early on Thanksgiving morning to help us get things going. They were a huge help! Everyone had a really good time and was totally stuffed!
Ally enjoys Thanksgiving dinner. I wonder who forgot to put a bib on her??? She did require a bath after she got done eating.
