Evie's First Birthday!

Today is Evie's First Birthday! I can't believe it has been a year since I had that precious baby. Last night, we celebrated her birthday with our immediate family.

I didn't go overboard in planning, but really wanted to make these lamb cupcakes from Martha Stewart Baby since lambs are Evie's favorite. (I'll show you her sweet invitation soon!)

Evie was so funny with her cake. She was more concerned with licking the frosting off her fingers than taking handfuls of cake. Watch the video at the end!

Oh, and true to Evie fashion, she mastered another milestone on her birthday. (She always does a new trick on the monthiversary.) This time, she stood on her own for 10 seconds!

Happy Birthday, sweet baby! We love you.

Evie's rocking chair from Mommy & Daddy.
Inside her cake was lemon buttercream and lemon curd. Other cupcakes were vanilla and dark chocolate.












We didn't even have to take it away from her. When she was finished, she pushed it off the high chair.

The question was, who had more fun? The aunts, Mommy, Yaya or Evie?
After all the amazing presents from family, Evie played most with her balloons. :)
