celebrating Cheney

Our little Cheney girl had a great few days celebrating her 1st birthday! Her birthday was last Thursday. It was rainy most of the day & we had a really low-key day at home just playing! The boys were SO excited about her birthday. It was really sweet. Grayson doted on her all day long!

My friend, Alex, made Cheney the cutest watermelon shirt for her birthday. She looked so cute in her ruffle bloomers & birthday shirt!

 

I made blueberry pancakes for the birthday girl (she had pizza for lunch. both her favorites!) & then she got her very own tiny chocolate cupcake. The boys sang "Happy birthday Chocolate Face" over & over...aren't they sweet? Ha! Sister LOVES her sweets and thinks this birthday stuff is pretty awesome.

We opened presents after dinner. Look at that big girl walking towards her gifts! She's getting there! Cheney got the Little People Disney princess castle, a stroller, & a baby doll. She LOVES the castle and all the singing princesses!

I have decided that there is nothing cuter than a baby pushing a baby!!

It was a fun day celebrating our girl. I still can't believe my bitty newborn is a toddling little 1 year old!

 

Cheney's party was on Saturday and we had a watermelon theme because our girl LOVES her some watermelon!

 

I LOVED her invitations! I told Amy my theme and colors & she created the cutest invite!

This was pretty much the extent of all decorations. I kept it pretty simple!

I do love her chalkboard! Making these is kind of therapeutic. This one will hang in her room!

The birthday girl! She was way too busy all day to stop & pose for pictures!

Cheney's smash cake was a success! She ate pretty much only icing & really liked the pretend watermelon seeds. She is our cleanest smash cake eater!

Cheney opened her presents afterwards. She had lots of preschool-aged helpers! For the first time in a year we have lots of girly toys. It is funny seeing a sea of pink things among our superheroes and trucks!

It was a great day celebrating Cheney with our family & friends. Our little watermelon loving girl had a blast!
