frances' first party

today we celebrated this beautiful little girl's first birthday.

lots of friends and family were there for the big occasion.

of course the big sister (with her bff ruby)...

and the big brother were very excited to get their party on!

the table looked so cute...

and so did the birthday girl. (i do believe that is one proud mommy!)

and soon it was time for cake.

at first she wasn't too sure...

but then she got a really good taste...

and then a nice BIG handful...

we did get a quick family shot before THIS...

i guess the gal likes her cake! :)

next the big kids had a quick sack race.

followed quickly by the little kids...

and what party is complete without a good tree swing?! it was a fun day with beautiful weather and wonderful friends celebrating our sweet baby girl frances. the last of our first birthdays....excuse me while i go have a good cry! ;)
