Anna’s Birthday Party

We held a First Birthday Party for Anna on May 11 at our house – it was loosely an Alice in Wonderland Party.  Friends from the area joined us to celebrate our little one-year-old!

Using Grandma Muriel’s punch bowl and glasses for our guests.

Petit fours from the same bakery – watch out, as we found out, the green ones have nuts in them.  And the swans – they were a little bit of heaven!

Anna touched the cake before we could take it away from her – she quickly learned that she LOVES cake as much as her mama does!
