Anelya's First Birthday Party

Anelya's first birthday party was a great success! There were twelve of us at the Wolfeboro Inn to celebrate Anelya's first year of life which was so very eventful for such a little peanut. Brunch was excellent, Anelya was beautiful, and we all enjoyed putting her in the spotlight, which she so much deserves.

I spent a lot of time picking a dress for Anelya that she can keep forever.

The hat lasted for about a minute, which was just fine.

Her pigtails were way cuter anyway.

As you can see, now that Anelya is walking, she rarely stands still!

The balloons were a BIG hit!!!

Here you can get a good look at her dress.

This is my favorite picture of the day.

Happy Birthday to you!

Oh that looks like something I can smoosh!

Kind of yummy, but Mommy has never given me sugar before,

so maybe a little too sweet for me! Good :-)

10 minutes after leaving the party - ZONKED!
