Once upon a time my Cailen was a little tiny baby and now... SHE'S ONE YEAR OLD!!! So we threw her a big shabang Elmo style. Complete with most attendees wearing a red shirt. My menu for the day was based on Sesame Street people or places.... We had "Dorothy Crackers" (goldfish crackers), Rosita's Mexican dip, Mr. Hooper's Fruit Stand platter where the veggies attempted to look like Elmo, Zoe and Oscar; then we had Oscar's Garbage Bread, Cookie Monster's Letter of the Day Cookies, Mr. Noodle's Pasta and of course an Elmo's worldish cake made by moi. Thankfully my hubbie did last minute house cleaning, my mom brought the mex dip, Amanda P helped with last minute food prep and my bro & Kiersten got balloons filled and did a wonderful job fulfilling my vision for the decorations... The party was fun in my opinion... I really had a great time. It was really fun celebrating my "little nut" Cailen. She was very into everything that was going on, loved the decor, played with the kids, loved her new toys, I loved her new clothes. She managed to actually separate herself from me and be involved in her event. I actually kinda missed her she was being so independent *sigh* She wasn't ALL smiles and giggles, at times she looks lost in thought and slightly overwhelmed, but she held it together despite such a big event revolving around her. After the crazy amount of dessert she ate, she definately cracked a few smiles though. I was really happy with the party, I hope she and everyone else was too. :)
