Brooklyn Turns One!

Where has the time gone?!  It's hard to believe that my baby is already one!  Last month we had a birthday party for Brooklyn's first birthday.  I ended up doing a rainbow themed party and even did a 6 layer cake for this little lady.-Which took me about 5 hours to do.  I was so sick of seeing that cake, after 5 hours, that I only had one bite of it.  But it was worth it to make it for my baby girl to celebrate her birthday.  After everyone had already eaten the cake it was halfway gone.  I attempted to slice off a piece for Brooklyn and as I did the whole cake tipped over off the stand onto the table!  I about died!  It was a miracle that I didn't say anything more than "shoot" as I watched my 5 plus hour cake tip over.  Despite tipping over, the cake still manage to stay together!  We did get a good laugh out of it though!  We had lots of family attend her big bash and it was so fun!  She was so spoiled!  Happy birthday my little Brooklyn bear!

Papa and Brooklyn
Opening presents.  







She had lots of helpers to help her with the wrapping paper!  :)


I'm pretty sure they were more excited than she was.  








Brooklyn decided to surprise us all by standing up all by herself in the middle of the room.  Such a big girl!



Eating her cake so lady-like and not making any mess.  She only picked at it for a couple minutes and then wouldn't eat anymore.  I guess she doesn't like cake.  


Dax and Colton thrilled that I gave them this lollipop.  
Erica playing with Carson.  He thought it was so much fun to have everyone over to play.  He talked about Brooklyn's party for days and referred to any present that she got as "Brooklyn's birthday party."

The cake is a masterpiece!
Lydia didn't like her birthday cake when she was one - but don't worry, that soon changed. Maybe Brooklyn will be the same.

So cute! Can't believe it's a year already! She is so beautiful! And I loved the cake. . . And seriously I would've had a hard time holding it together during a tip over too. Ha ha.
