Payton's First Birthday Party

      Yesterday we had Payton's first birthday party. I am so sad that this time has come already, but her party went very well. She looked absolutely adorable in her tutu outfit, and it seemed like everyone had a really good time celebrating the anniversary of her birth.
     She was so cute while opening presents, she had her cousin helping her with the unwrapping, but she kept wanting to stop and play with her new toys rather than keep opening. She got so many good things, she has been playing with her new toys nonstop today. Her favorite gift was a crawling Minnie Mouse. She kept saying "hot dog" which is what she calls Mickey because of the "Hot Dog Dance". She clapped for Minnie every time she would crawl and she has still been doing that today.
     After presents, the kids took turns hittign the pinata, until fianlly it was opened and then I gave out goodie bags. The kids loved the silly glasses in their goodie bags, and they sure made for cute photo props.
     I save the cake for last because I knew it would be messy, and it was, but it was a lot of fun watching her enjoy it. She ate quite a bit then she wanted some cheetos, I guess she was tired of the sweets.
     After cake, she definitely need a bath. She just smiled the whole day. I am so glad she had such a good time. I know babies don't understand much about their first birthdays, but I could tell she knew it was a special day and it was all about her!
    Rylee Love was such a good big sister throughout the party. She has been talking about this party all week. She really wanted to make sure Payton had a special day. This led to a minor meltdown when Rylee wanted Payton to open the presents in a certain order, but it only lasted a second, and she was right back in the action making sure baby Payton had the best of everything. I love the way she loves her sissy and I could not be more proud at how thoughtful and generous she can be. Nonna surprised her with her very own gift after the party was over. She really deserved it!
      Payton Joy's birthday is Thursday, and I cannot believe how the time has flown. I am so excited that her party went well. She deserved the best because she has definitely given us our best year yet! We love you to the moon, Payton Joy! Happy, happy birthday!
