Cambria's Birthday Party

On Thursday, we had a little birthday party for our little one year old. Wow, her first year just FLEW right by! We had a few friends from church come over to help her celebrate the right way, with balloons, birthday cake, and presents. I tied about 20 balloons to the back of Cambria's highchair and decorated her seat so festive. I stayed up super late the night before making a happy birthday sign at a friends house that was so so cute, I don't ever want to take it down! I really wanted to make her first birthday a special one, and without a doubt it was a big success! Thanks everyone for helping make this day a memorable one for my little Cam Cam. She felt so loved!!


The success of the party didn't exactly start until after we sang "Happy Birthday" though. To my surprise Cambria wasn't very happy about all of the balloons I tied to the back of her chair. During the song, I ended up holding her while she watched with a smile as everyone's eyes were on her and then Addison helped us blow out the big candle. He is a sweet big brother. But, Cambria didn't dig into her cake until the next morning for breakfast...and she loved it! She was too worried about those balloons at the party.


So, we all sat down to open presents. It was so adorable to watch her reaction to her gifts. I think her favorite was the glow worm. As soon as we got it out of the box, she grabbed and pressed it to her mouth and said, "Muah!" It was SO stinkin' cute. She also got a tea set, clothes, a baby doll, a radio, princess books and plastic ware, and a step stool. She was spoiled with love!


One birthday tradition that we started with Addison is to give everyone a helium balloon and make a wish, then let it float away into the sky. So, we all made a special wish for the birthday girl, and all the balloons floated off! The kids sure did have a lot of fun with this! They wanted to make more wishes and let more balloons go. As the balloons floated away Addison said, "BYE! See ya later!" Ahh, I love that boy!!


The kids had a great time jumping on the trampoline and running around in the back yard.




It was a great night! Happy birthday my little princess! We love you!
