Sydney's First Birthday!

We had a little birthday party/get together for Sydney's birthday on Sunday night. I know a lot of people go all out for their baby's first birthdays, but we wanted to keep it pretty small. I did make a cake and a cute sign, and she had plenty of presents, so it was a successful, fun night. Sydney really enjoyed pretty much everything about her birthday. It was a night of many firsts for her, which she loved. We can't believe that we have such a big girl! It sure has been a great year!

The sign I made, and the many unopened presents!

Sydney loved unwrapping the presents and playing with the wrapping paper and bows!

We made a coloring book for Sydney to go along with her first crayons...

My first attempt at making a cake & it turned out pretty well!

All done!

Sydney has many people who love her. Thank you everyone for the presents and for spending some of this special day with us and Sydney! We all had fun!
