It's my Party and I'll Cry If I Want To!

Well, I'm not the one who cried at my party, but I did have the best time. Yes, it's true, Mommy was a little emotional at my birthday party but I guess she has that right since she did give birth to me. The weekend went by way too fast but all the planning that Mommy did went off without a hitch, of course. After dropping Aunt Sandy off at the airport on Saturday afternoon, Mommy came home and started baking the cakes so they would have enough time to cool. Then after playing with me for a little bit and then putting me to bed. She got ready to assemble the bee masterpiece. As soon as she was getting ready to put everything together, Grandma and Grandpa P. arrived from the airport, so she took a break and chatted with them before getting back to work. Since Grandma has done many cakes before, Mommy knew she would have some input so instead she put her to work and sent her to the store to get some last minute things for the party. After starting the cakes around 7ish, Mommy was finally done around 11:30 and the cake looked beauteous :) (pictures of my party are up).

The next morning, we all just kind of hung out until I took my nap. Apparently, people like to get things done when I'm not around. I just don't understand it, I am very helpful especially now that I am into emptying drawers and cupboards. Before my nap, I gave Mommy and Grandma a show by dancing literally the whole three minutes of Single Ladies by Beyonce. I think Grandma's stomach hurt so bad from laughing she couldn't even breathe. I am such a good dancer and hopefully more videos will follow.

People started arriving around 11:15 with their food and I was still sleeping. Mommy knew that I needed my sleep though because I probably wasn't going to get another one that day. Mommy finally got me up around 11:45 and put my piggies in my hair so that I was party ready. We all ate really good food, mostly prepared by Gramdpa Bilek and I played with Carmen a lot. Then after lunch, it was time for me to eat my first piece of cake. Like I said, Mommy did a great job with the cake and cried when everyone sang Happy Birthday. But the best part was how I ate my cake. I didn't smash it up really good, but I picked at it and ate icing here and there. The funniest part was when I leaned into the cake eating like a dog several times and in slow motion. It was delicious and I was definitely on a sugar high for the rest of the day.

After cake, came presents and I got a lot of great things, including a new handmade rolling bee by Great Grandpa Bilek which is something new that he's never made before. It is a lot of fun. Oddly, when we started opening presents I did a good job ripping the paper but I only wanted to open presents if I could hold my dress in my mouth. Whatever works to make the people laugh. Shortly after presents, people started to leave to go home and I was still ready to party until bedtime. It was a great day and I can't wait to do it again. Thanks everyone for all my gifts and making my first birthday very special.
