Meredith’s actual first birthday fell on a boring old Thursday, but we spiced it up a bit by having a little family celebration of our own before her big party the following weekend.
Party in my crib!
The only picture I have of Meredith in the little party hat I made her! She was supposed to wear it at her party, but adamantly refused.
We did our traditional funfetti birthday pancakes in the morning.
No, we did not let her get close to touching the flame.
Jake had a board meeting that night, so we had an early dinner and cake, which the girls helped me make. It was completely refined sugar-free, made with applesauce and bananas as a sweetener, and actually turned out tasty! There was no taking the sugar out of the frosting, unfortunately, since we made buttercream frosting loaded with powdered sugar. Meredith couldn’t believe her good fortune!
So excited I just can’t handle it!
Lots of love,
