Today we had a wonderful visit with Allison’s grandparents. We stopped up in Leominster for a tasty lunch at Applebees. Eva was her usual entertaining self. She was also a wicked chow hound. She put down a ton of broccoli as well as some chicken fingers. Then our food came and she had plenty of that too. This kid has a healthy appetite.

After our lunch we headed further west to Ashburnham for a birthday party. The party was for our friend’s son. He turned one today. The party was a really nice one. There was great food, lots of other kids and some fun activities for all the kids too. The party also had a Disney theme and it was so cute to do a little scavenger hunt with Eva and find a little Princess Nite Lite.

One of the best parts of a 1 year old’s birthday party is the cake. And this guy had himself a blast with the cake.

Today we had every new parent’s right of passage, the 1st birthday party. The 1st birthday party is that one where everyone is invited and everyone wants to come. It is the party where the baby gets to try cake for the 1st time and lots of fun and cute things happen. Eva was no different, she charmed everyone who came to visit and enjoyed the heck out of her cake and ice cream. Our house was packed to standing room only.

The party started at 1:00 and we filled the place with aunts, uncles, cousins, kids, babies, sisters, brothers, friends and grandparents. At 1:30 we got the pizza delivery. Pizza and cake was the easiest thing to do, because pizza can be eaten standing up and the wide variety of toppings makes there something for everyone. We also had a couple of salads as well.

After lunch we put Eva in her high chair and brought out the cake. We got a Winnie the Pooh cake form BJ’s, they make some nice cakes and decorate them well. At first Eva was more about cookies than cake and pushed the cake away. Allison tried a different tack and gave her some ice cream instead. For ice cream I picked up Hoodsie cups. So much easier than scooping ice cream. Plus, They’re Hoodsie Cups!

We had a wonderful day and Eva was a star of the show. She’s actually still up right now, we think she might be cutting a tooth, of course she’s gotten her second, sugar high, wind.

Here are a bunch more photos from her 1st birthday party.
