A few weeks ago we headed over to Chloe's house for her 1st birthday party. It was so much fun.
It was really cool to have Daddy with us. After months of Monday's at Chloe's it was daddy's first time to see the cool set-up.
In attendance was Serena's Mom Kendra and her Dad Randy. Its always fun to get together when all the dads can come.
Here is Holly making herself at home in the playroom. Chloe's cousins and all her Friends were there to celebrate with her. In this picture is Gabriel who just returned from a 6 week trip with his mom, and Serena discovering her toes.
It was meet to see so many new and familiar faces. Chloe's house is perfect for hosting a party.
There is the birthday girl in the most adorable little dress.
And here is the fabulous playroom. Since Holly was already familiar with the space she was very comfortable, and didn't mind all the crowds.
She was eager to play with her favorite toy and show it off to Daddy. I didn't get any pictures, but the food was wonderful. Eric (Chloe's Dad) was at the grill making yummy burgers and sausages. There was also some delicious trays of traditional Filipino food that Joel really enjoyed. And then lots of fruit and veggies to snack on. Ohh, and I enjoyed the Hansen's Cherry Cream soda. Yum.
But she was most excited about the opportunity to run around the whole house and yard. Here she is checking out the pretty flowers.
On the patio she snacked on some veggies. She nibbled the carrots which was a first. We watched her like a hawk, running around with them, but she really liked them.
Daddy got to chase her around while Mommy chatted and socialised. Berrin was there with Theo, and there were a few other older boys, around 5ish. They were playing ball, and of course Holly did her best to get into the middle of the game.
She was having such a fun time. Such a mischievous little grin. When she wasn't exploring the garden, she was trying to climb up the steps. She had a blast. its always fun when there is a Daddy there to chase you down.
Here is Serena with her Daddy, I love those adorable little overalls. It was such a nice day out. Cool and breezy, not too hot. Later we had cake, which was very yummy.
I think originally Katherine, Chloe's mom was hoping for warmer weather.. We were going to have a pool party, but I think there would hardly have been time for swimming.
We loved the new Porch Furniture and Gazebo set up in the back. We want to try and get something like that for our back yard. it was really comfortable.
We had a great day. Here we are singing to the birthday girl. i wish the picture wasn't so blurry, but the room was a little dark, and well Holly I think has sensory issues with everyone singing Happy Birthday at once, it makes her anxious and she cries.. So as we started to sing, I had to take her out of the room to calm her down. I felt bad, but I think it wasn't too disruptive.
Everyone had a blast. Here is the birthday girl zonked after such a fun day!

That picture really doesn't convey the enormity of that cake. It was like a little pink aircraft carrier.
That was a lot of fun. Holly just loved running around outside. I could barely keep up with her.
