Bee's Birthday Bash!

We celebrated Evie Frances's first trip around the sun with a wonderful Birthday Party last weekend.  We had such a fun time and I was so blessed with how many people came over to celebrate the little Bee.

Evie had slept on her hair funny so I thought it the perfect time to attempt some pony tails.  She looked like a little bug and fit in precisely with the bee theme of the party.  I cannot get enough of this little girl these days.  She is just so stinking cute!

We were hoping to have her party at the local park, but got rained into our home.  It really worked out wonderfully well and our small house fit everyone snuggly.  Memaw outdid herself with the Bee's cupcakes.  What a special blessing complete with little fondant ladybugs and bumblebees.  Thanks Memaw!

It was so special to see all of the people that came out to celebrate her.  Traci, Tyler and Audrey happened to come for a visit over the weekend and were able to be at the party, but more on their visit some other time.  We had our neighbors come over and several church friends, and longtime friends.  It is so much fun to see all of the kiddos together.  There were a few moments where the house was filled with kid noises and everyone was wild in the living room.  Evie is the life of the party and held her own with the big kids.  She wanted to be on and over everything and everyone.

Cake time was a hit and Evie was thrilled to dig into that perfectly decorated cupcake.  At first she wasn't completely sure what she was supposed to do with it, but managed to figure it out right quick.  MMMMM, Chocolate!  By the time she was finished she had become a two fisted eater and was covered in cupcake goodness.

All of the kiddos had a blast playing with each other and devouring the cupcakes.

When cupcakes were finished Evie was thrilled with this new activity called open presents.  Oh the paper, oh the colors, oh the bags and bows!  She could not get to everything fast enough. She was in every bag and over every person throughout the entire experience.

She was just showered with toys and clothes, diapers and books.  I am just so blessed with how much people love my little Bee.  Evie's favorite present was the shovel packet.  She LOVED the different shovels and focused nearly all of her attention on those.  

The party was a HUGE success and such a wonderful time. Evie is 1 and has officially moved up to toddler status. What a cutie!
