With Abigail's birthday being so close to St. Patrick's day, it was easy to pick a theme for her 1st birthday! But of course a lot of green wasn't going to cover it, we needed color, so I incorporated a lot of rainbow!
I had fun with the food making mini shepherd pies, Reuben sandwiches and Irish Stew.
Abigail had the "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to attitude" for the beginning of the party. She had been sick just days prior and was cutting teeth so I think this had a lot to do with it.
Luckily food had her in a better mood!
We lucked out with perfect weather. In the 70s. Couldn't ask for better weather!
Friends enjoyed swinging.
And playing in the water table (Abigail's birthday present).
Olivia made a necklace to snack on during the party.
Aunt Andi learned how to make balloon animals, swords, etc. just for the party. So sweet!
The majority of the party was spent outside since the weather was so awesome!
We headed inside when it was time for the cake.
Abigail was hesitant at first...
So her big sister helped her with her first taste.
One little taste was all it took!
Handfuls were eaten at a time!
She kept looking at us with a concerned look as if she wasn't supposed to be doing this, but when we didn't stop her, she kept digging in.
Eventually I had to take the cake from her because I was pretty sure she was never going to stop!
She really put a dent in that cake!
Olivia was a big helper when it came time for presents and quickly decided which toys she was going to try to take of Abigail's.
Cake and presents had the birthday girl smiling again!
After the party, a few guests hung around and we walked to our neighborhood St. Patrick's Day festival.
But it ended up being a long day and the kids didn't last long before we headed back.
Happy Birthday sweet Abigail! And thank you to everyone who celebrated with us!
