Violet's First Birthday Party

On Sunday, December 19 we celebrated Violet's birthday a few days early and had a party! We enjoyed a simple dinner of roll sandwiches, fruit, veggies, and shrimp. After dinner we headed into the kitchen to give Violet her very own special cupcake. We lit her candle and sang Happy Birthday. She looked a little stunned to have everyone staring at her.
She wasn't quite sure what to do with her cupcake at first.


The first thing she ate was her ladybug M&M.



Next, she started picking at the frosting and oreos.


Before long she grew tired of the sweet treat and we got her down. She actually really enjoyed eating cupcakes throughout the next week. Whenever she sees someone with a cupcake now she yells out because she thinks she deserves a bite.


We introduced her to presents. She wasn't to sure about everything but did rip some of the paper.
She got a lot of presents. Adelle gave Violet her own little Nemo fish.


She got a baby Tiana from Grandma Oates and she was so excited.
She got a baby doll from Wes and I.


She got a lot of other gifts including a baby Einstein book has a musical player with classical music. She fell in love with it when Violet and I were shopping at Wal-Mart on black Friday. She loves to play with it often and loves to take it in the car whenever we drive around. She also got clothes, more books, little people, a baby signing time DVD, and more toys!

I'm note sure Violet was excited about the clothes, but she sure looks cute!
Grandma Julie brought a giant box with a big present. Lydia and Adelle loved the box. In the box was a plush, pink rocker with an ottoman! She looks quite grown up when she sits in it.


We had a wonderful time and I hope my little Violet enjoyed her very first birthday!
