Exeter Birthday Party

We are so lucky! Friends, food, weather, music, presents! Everything came together perfectly for Maria's first birthday party on the parkway in Exeter. It was a cool, dry, sunny evening, the pizza was delivered without a hitch, the band sang Maria "Happy Birthday", and the presents were a hit. Here are a few pictures from the festivities-we're thinking of making it an annual event!

Pizza eaters!

Jill made this whale onsie, anyone interested if she starts a business?

Eilah gave Maria an outfit to match the one she's wearing.
Kira watches Rick blow bubbles.
In the end Maria thought the cake was better if it was mooshed between her toes. We were at the park until almost 9:00 so when we got home-and Maria was so excited she didn't fall asleep in the car-we wiped all the parts that were exposed to sticky cake (still had to read a bedtime story five times) and then she crashed. Thanks everyone for making it such a great evening.

Looks like a fun night. So sorry to have missed it. I love the last one of Maria's toes in the cake and present!
