The decorations...
We had Dr. Seuss books around with balloons and pictures from Abby's 1st year playing on the digital picture frame.
The cake...
James masterfully carved a number 1 out of three layers of funfetti cake and iced and sprinkled it like a pro. He has been officially designated the birthday-cake-maker for all birthdays in our house.
The guests...photographed while eating mac and cheese, fruit and hot dogs.
Nathan and Noelle (and Anna)
Ransom
Hayden
Carter and Charlotte
...and the birthday girl.
The adults ate chicken pesto pasta, which is about the easiest recipe on earth, especially when you buy pre-made pesto. I made about three times too much, but we'll have leftovers for lunch all week.
Time for cake...
Abby wasn't quite sure about all the singing...
but she got into it eventually...
and apparently the light from the candle was blinding. Just wait until you're 30 baby! Now that's some blinding light!
She ate the cake and liked it OK, but didn't care for the icing at all. James tried to put some on her lip, and she looked at him like he was torturing her. The cake has been sitting on the counter since Saturday, and she has shown no interest in wanting any more. Guess she's her father's daughter...and now I can clean icing off two plates instead of just one!
Time for presents...
the pretty pink sunglasses from Hayden were a big hit...
Ransom especially liked them.
Nathan!
Sweet Charlotte and Gracielle

The balloons were a big hit.
Abby had a great time with these good friends and their parents. We appreciate all of their friendship and support not just on her big day, but all year long!
