Bee's 1st Birthday Party!

Saturday was Bee's 1st Birthday Party. It was an animal theme and several people wore costumes at the party. Of course, Cory, Annie, and Bee were a "Pride of Lions!" Annie worked hard to make her and Bee's costumes from fabric that they got at a stoop sale in NYC. Barbara was a darling Ladybug! (It was an act of love for this Pride of Lions to stay in costume for the hot humid weather we were having.) Later, Bee re-costumed to a colorful parrot that Annie made for her as well. You can't have enough costumes or looks for your 1st Birthday Party! Bee was in great form and did not cry at her 4 hour open house party. There were almost 50 people attending and moving through the house and back yard. She was a happy girl for everyone!
There was a variety of yummy cakes.

And the best cake of all was the one that Melissa and Jill made! This special cake was designed and made with special ingredients that Cory, Annie, and Bee would enjoy! Annie was thrilled that there would be a healthy cake at Bee's 1st Birthday!Cory found one of the boxes from a baby doll gift that seemed just the right comment to put Bee in the Box. "Starter Baby Doll!" Today I gathered up a few of the cute gifts that Bee got for her birthday. After posting, I noticed that the Monkey doll has his arm over the "Starter Baby's" face. Some of the gifts were not available for pictures, because Bee and Annie took them to Lemoore and spent the night. Thanks to all for all the thoughtful gifts for Bee.I loved the bright yellow bags that were perfect for our Bee's special day! I am amazed at all the cute Bee things I find and now look for when I shop. I love Bee's name!

I will close this blog with a short video of the end of the Happy Birthday song. I apologize for the quick pan of the guests and that I did not get more pictures of everyone. We had a great day and appreciate all the people who took the time to celebrate our Bee's 1st Birthday. Thank you!
