Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

And on that farm we had a party! Old MacDonald's farm was the theme for your 1st birthday party. A couple of months before your birthday I began thinking of what theme to use for your party. The fact that you give us sweet smiles when we sing the Old MacDonald song to you, you love the Old MacDonald hand puppet we have, and you love all animals made it easy.  We stuck with the theme and decorated using red and white as well as cow print balloons (and a barn with animals one for you), hay bales, and a rocking horse.  We had it September 22 from 12-2, the Saturday before your birthday, at a nearby park. It was a joyous time of celebrating your first year with our family and friends.


About to sing.  This was such a sweet moment to me.  Hearing everyone sing to you made my heart smile.


Daddy giving you your smash cake.


Surprise, surprise you went for the graham cracker "door" first.


Not excited at all but atleast you touched it.


Daddy decided to pinch off a little for you to taste.


Well maybe we can say you tried it.


Our little cow in the dress that Aunt Kim made for you.


As I was looking for ideas I came across this cake and I just had to make it for you.  It was a labor of love for your Daddy and I and we are super happy with how it turned out.  The barn was your smash cake and the pig, sheep, and chick cupcakes were cute additions.


The cake and cupcake table.


Ham and turkey sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo.


Miss Adelaide's Garden of cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli, and carrots with red peppers serving as bowls for the ranch dressing.


Chicken feed, a pumpkin patch, hay bales, fresh eggs, tractor wheels, and muddy fence posts made for some yummy treats.


Don't forget the cow patties and tails.


Water and capri suns with a basketfull of apples.


Family and friends...

who love you so much!


We love you, Adelaide.  Happy Birthday!
