Happy 1st Birthday Party!

Although Jordan's birthday is not until next Friday, a lot of family was in town for Uncle Trey and Aunt Heather's wedding last night. With their permission, we decided to have her party today so that we could maximize the family's visit. Jordan was in a great mood coming off a full 24 hours of undivided Mimi Patty's attention! Junebug wore her signature lady bug dress, although the matching hat was never gonna make it!

She visited for a little while and then opened her presents. After many cute outfits,

books and even her own adirondack chair,

it was time for the main event--the cake! Publix not only makes great cakes, but also provides a free "smash cake" for the first birthday. Complete with ladybugs, it only looked pretty for a minute or so before Jordan figured out that it tasted REALLY good! She dug right in and proceeded to shovel it in her mouth fistful after fistful. I think she could have eaten the whole thing! Even with all that sugar and hype, she managed to take a 2 hour nap and only got to bed a little later than normal. There was so much going on that most of the day is a blur for me, but I do remember when we were singing Happy Birthday and holding the big cake with the candle, all these flashes going off. I think everyone there had a camera. So, if you were at the party, you probably already have these pictures, but for everyone else...we missed you!!
