A First, First Birthday Party

Instead of our normal playgroup yesterday, we had a combined birthday party for Lydia and one of her friends who turned 1 last week.  Lydia's birthday isn't for another 3 weeks, but she had a great time playing birthday girl a little bit early.  We ended up having 17 kids at the party.  Thank goodness I have a big backyard!!

Everyone camped out in the sunshine

An attempt at "Duck, duck, goose", although some of the kids were really too young to get all of the rules :)

Next we played a floating ducky game.  The kids had so much fun splashing in the water. In fact, I think this was the thing that Lydia enjoyed the most!

Piñata time!!  Everyone loves candy!

Playing with a friend and a balloon.

The ducky cake, made by a friend of ours who has quite a talent with cakes!

So many friends!

How fun. I'm glad she was feeling good enough to enjoy the party. I'm so jealous that you're outside in short-sleeves!

BTW, love the following post about SAHM. I feel so grateful that I am one too! People think I'm weird because I'm choosing baby over my career, but I don't care. She is SO much more important!!
