We had friends and family and lots of kids over for a small bash at our home. The theme for her party was zebra & hot pink. Something sassy and cute just like our Bug is! I made the banners for the mantel and her highchair and I used iron-ons for her onesie. Bug's BFF, Maddie, loaned her her tutu which was hot pink with zebra trim to wear for the party!
Most everyone arrived right around the same time and we started with lots of mingling and chit-chatting and introducing! Rayleigh was starting to get overwhelmed (and overtired!) with everyone there so we went ahead and went to the living room to open presents! Rayleigh got so many wonderful things from everyone who loves her! But as much as she loved getting the gifts, she couldn't fight sleep off any longer and fell asleep halfway through unwrapping!
She woke up shortly after gifts were over and was ready for a great time of watching and playing with the other kids there! It was so awesome to have all of our friends and their kids over at the same time! The kids all played really well together!
Rayleigh's first cake was... quite an experience. First, her daddy puts her hands straight into the icing! Then we sing the birthday song (sooo sweet) and cut her a big 'ol piece for her to share with her mommy and daddy! We put a little ice cream on top of her piece to get a little soggy for her to eat better and she went to town taking bites from anyone who put her spoon in her mouth!
It was such a wonderful time and a big milestone for our little one :) We're so proud of all the things she has learned up to this point and are thrilled that the learning continues every day.
