1st Birthday Party

We had the Nacho's first birthday party a few weeks ago, and I think it was a success. I feel like I was in planning mode forever, and then it was over so quickly. (Kind of like my wedding. Months and months of planning for one fast night.) But it was so worth it. And am already starting to think about her second birthday party. Thinking about the party, not the fact the she will be turning two!

The party was an owl theme and the invite said "Look Whoooooooo's Turning One". And just like with my wedding, her cake was one of the most important things for me. I lucked out because two girls I went to high school with started a cake business, and they made the perfect cake for the party. We had the party at D's brother's house because they have a pool. August in Texas requires you to be indoors or in the water. My house is too small to contain everyone inside, so A and P's house was the next best option.

The day before the Nacho's birthday (July 31th) we went and had a family dinner at Roadhouse. We were at Roadhouse the year before when my water broke. I spent that day being mad and sad about everything that happened after the Nachos birthday. I wanted to be nothing but happy on her actual birthday. I want August 1st to always be a day that has good, happy memories; a day we celebrate. The 31st can be my pissed off day, that way the 1st will always be hers.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from that day.
