We had an All-American Girl party for Maisy's first birthday. We went to the park and had burgers, homemade root beer, potato salad (thanks Cody and Erin!), and lots of fun. My sister/party planner was a HUGE help - she made these fantastic little cupcakes I really wanted that were red, white, and blue inside and were frosted with her yummy buttercream frosting and decorated with sprinkles and foam stars(non-edible of course). She also made the most amazing birthday banner that had pictures of Maisy throughout the year and said "Happy Birthday Maisy!" She really is the best aunt ever! I made Maisy a tutu to match her onesie and Aimee and I made red bows which she REFUSED to leave in so she ended up with mad scientist hair for the remainder of the day.
Joey was the activity coordinator for the day :) He brought a basketball for the guys and filled up water balloons for almost the entire afternoon so that the kids could have a blast for about 30 seconds! He pulled the Jeep up and put on some tunes and made the BBQ complete.
Maisy really enjoyed her little red, white, and blue cake once she knew what to do with it. At first she just sat there, which is exactly what Duffy did with his first cake, but then she really dug in. She enjoyed it so much that she even had it in her hair. Actually, she enjoyed it too much because later that night she woke with a killer tummy ache and I had to make an emergency trip to Smith's to grab some gripe water.
Thanks to everyone who came: Grandma and Grandpa Great, Grandma and Papa B, Grandma O, Cody & Erin and the kids: Derek, Cheyenne, Connor, and Rylee(I spell her name wrong I think!), Jeromy, Shari and Shae, and of course our big brother Duffy. I think that's it, hope I didn't miss anyone!
