My little peach had her first birthday party and what a blast it was!! As always I decided that a theme was needed, so I figured what better a theme for my little peach than a peach theme. And that is exactly what we had, a Peachariffic First Birthday Party!! We had almost all of our favorite people in attendance: Gammy and Gampy, Grandma and Grandpa, Nana, Uncle John, "Aunt" Susan and Kids, Kelly and Mike (honoree family members and Anna's daycare providers), Auntie Amy and of course big sis Alix and Mom and Dad. The weather was beautiful and we all enjoyed hanging out on the patio having some white peach sangria and watching the little peach herself toddle about. Soon came everyone's favorite, some present opening...but Anna didn't really get it. She kind of roamed around while Alix unwrapped the present and showed them to her. So many generous and wonderful gifts...Anna is one lucky girl!! We will have many fun filled days playing with our new sand toys, water mat, bumbly cube and cell phone, table and chairs, pony rider toy...and on and on. After all that excitement we took a break for a little dinner: Pork with Peach salsa, spinach and peach/strawberry salad, and corn (there had to be one unpeach dish...we didn't want to go totally crazy with the theme ;) It was all delicious if I do say so myself!! We quickly followed up all that eating with more eating. Dessert didn't have any peaches in it...ha! Of course it did...we had cupcakes with homemade mascarpone frosting (YUM!) that I put a little peach puree into. It was topped with a peach and served with peach pie ice-cream (thanks Edy's!!). Anna dug into the cupcake, but only seemed intrigued by the frosting...who can blame her?! When she was done she got her last present...a water table, where she played and washed the goo off her fingers all at the same time (she's a multi-tasker!) Slowly the party wound down...as did everyone's energy. It was a big exciting wonderfully peacharrific day!!! A wonderful way to celebrate my little peach and all the joy she brings to everyone she has met this past year.
OH YES! And in other big news: you may have noticed that my not so little girl had an event of her own occur in her life. If you didn't catch it in the previous pics of Anna's party, Miss Alix has decided to go Pink! Her new pinkalicious hair is oh so adorable and I think it totally fits her...
