Abby's first birthday party!

The birthday girl! (I think she is getting more teeth...In almost every picture she has something in her mouth!)

 Goodie bags for the cousins!  I wish I took a picture of the butterfly hair clip I made them!  Bummer!

 Before the fruit was cut up for a fruit salad...the caterpillar says, "On Monday she ate through one apple, but she was still hungry...On Tuesday, etc."

 Flowers and a butterfly cake

 Mama and her baby

 Dad-o and his baby

 No big deal, just chewing on a hammer.

 Sam LOVED reading with Lynn...I mean, look at her face!

 Nana and the Bubba

 The God parents!

 Uncle Andy drove all the way in from Chicago.  We missed Auntie Brittany, but will see her soon in DC!

 The game show host...Holy cow!  Those are Uncle Steve's pants (Yes, Steve has an uncle who is also named Steve) from when he was younger!  This is his shirt too...the blazer was a goodwill find.

 Craig and Lynn

 The cutest outfit ever from Great Grandma Klenke!

 Grandpa Paul

 Grandma and Grandpa

 Yum, I could get used to this sugar business...(She is wearing a very hungry caterpillar onesie!)

 The prizes for the game show winners.  Baby food jars with M&M's in them.  The lid of the baby food jar has a magnet on the outside and on the inside is a picture of Abby....So when they are done with the M&Ms they can use the top as a magnet with a picture of our sweet little nugget!

 A book for everyone to sign so we can remember her big day (The Very Hungry Caterpillar was our theme)

 Decorations and the slide show...Dad made a great slide show of all sorts of pictures of Abby...It was so cute!  

 All the food before I got it all ready...we had pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw, and fruit salad.  I am glad I took a before picture because once we needed to eat, I never had time to take a picture of it all put together nicely....So, this is what you get :)

 Sam is in LOVE with Abby!  Abby loves her too...Whenever we go over to their house Sam comes in the kitchen, Abby starts jumping around in my arms and laughs...It is so cute!

 Love from Auntie Jen

 Auntie Jen is so much fun!!!

All in all it was a fantastic day!  We loved having family over to celebrate our little girl!
