Zoey's first birthday was yesterday! I can't believe a year has gone by! Wow. We did a combined family party celebrating Zoey, Addelynn, and Whitney. They each had a balloon, cake with candles, and gifts to open (although Whitney received her gifts earlier from the fam). Zoey received some fun girl toys (finally! She's been forced to play with trains, cars, and dinosaurs until now). Brian and I gave her a stroller walker, grandma gave her a pink garden set (a watering can, flowers, and a pail that she can put little bug balls in and out of...this has been her favorite), a few fun books (which I am happy she got!), cute clothes, and some other fun stuff.
Albertson's will make a free birthday cake for any first birthday, so we got Zoey's cake for free, but I still wanted to make a cake so I made this one: 
A princess crown cake! The edge of the cake is lined with decorated sugar cookies. We also played "pin the crown on the princess" and gave away princess jewelry and wands as party favors (cousins Katie and Molly liked that!).
Zoey was absolutely funny when she ate her cake. She dove right in and mushed it all up and before we knew it...it was gone! She was definitely not as shy as Jackson was with his! Claire was surprised at how fast it disappeared and I think we all laughed at her eagerness to eat....the little chunk, she'd got to keep her figure somehow! I'll try to post the video too...Anyway, it was a fun day for all of us. Jackson couldn't get enough of telling everyone happy birthday, even if it wasn't their birthday, or singing the birthday song. In fact, he was singing the birthday song to Zoey's balloon this morning too. I think he is starting to like this 'birthday thing' and it will be fun to see him enjoy Christmas morning!
