Mary Paul's Snowflake First Birthday-2nd Post of the Night

Mary Paul is 1 year old!!!! We had a Snowflake Winter Wonderland Party!!! Despite the tear in the first picture, Mary Paul was a huge ham and loved every bit of attention she received!!! She also blew out her candle all by herself (we've been practicing and she now tries to blow out all the Christmas lights). You can't tell by the pictures, but we had snowflakes everywhere... hanging above the table, in the breakfast area, on the bookshelves and the curtains. Mary Paul had a special hat made by my sister, Ashley. She loved her cake and 3-D cookies; and we loved having so much of our family around us for this special day!!! As usual I loved being able to plan an event All in all, it was a great success. We are all tired though and ready for a good night's sleep. Can't wait to see what the next year brings!!!
