Happy First Birthday Party!

Of course, the celebration wouldn't be complete without a first birthday party full of monkey balloons, bananas, and a sweet monkey dress for Anna Banana. We had the party on Saturday with friends and family. We had a difficult time limiting the number but thought it worked out wonderfully. There was a traditional cake with ice cream for guests but Anna had her very own strawberry shortcake cake. This has been her mommy's favorite birthday dessert for as long as she can remember so we thought we'd pass it to Anna and see what she thought. She loved it!!!

After partying for about 4 hours, our precious baby girl was wiped out. (By the end she had even lost her clothes - this is the only birthday this will be happening at.) Needless to say, she slept perfectly that night. She had to rest up for her big birthday outing to the zoo with mommy and daddy the next day =)
