Happy First Birthday WREN!!

Wren's first birthday party was at her grandma and grandpa Zimmerman's and all of my family and Jesse's family came to celebrate!

GETTING READY


Setting up the food table. Those tassels were very tempting for little kids :)


Aunt Amanda made the cookie cakes and decorated them!


FOOD/DECOR

We served a taco dip, Chex mix, cookie cakes, and caramel/chocolate 
covered pretzels! We did a light pink and gold theme with polka dots.

The pretzels turned out great and were delicious!

Aunt Amanda did a great job on 3 cookie cakes.

More cakes!

Bojeannies (Tessa Herr) did Wrens smash cake! 
It was perfect! Check out her work on Facebook. 

We had a picture time line of her monthly pictures.

FAMILY

Wren's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all came to celebrate!




Wren and her cousin Xander :)

OPENING GIFTS

Wren enjoyed opening gifts but was a little distracted and wanted to play 
with the stuff she got rather than opening another gift. But of course!

Wren got some Adventures of Raindrop CD's from grandma
 and grandpa Steidinger that I used to listen to as a kid!


I told Wren's uncle Jordan that she was to young for guns so he 
decided he would get a toy bow and arrow instead ;)

Wren's crazy uncle also decided to get her a dog bone 
as a joke, but she thought it was cool!

Wren got a book and bag chair from grandpa and grandma Zimmerman.

After opening this book she refused to open any more gifts and 
took her book straight to grandpa to have him read it to her!

I think he felt pretty special :)

After grandpa read her the book she decided she could open more gifts!



A few of Wren's aunts and uncles went together and got her a car seat, 
stroller, and pac 'n play for her baby dolls! She absolutely loves it!


Unfortunately she still had one more gift to open, ours, and she wanted nothing
 to do with it! The above photos are a progression of the fit she threw!

Thankfully it ended well and she likes her elephant chair:)


CAKE SMASH

Happy Birthday WREN <3

Wren's Birthday Paparazzi!! 

"This whole cake is for me?!"



Yummy!

"Mmmmm CAKE!"

All that cake makes a little girl thirsty!

Before and after! I say she enjoyed herself ;)

Time to clean off all that frosting!


PLAYING WITH NEW TOYS!

Getting a ride from uncle Clay in her new baby 
doll stroller. She may be a little big!


These are pre-birthday celebration pictures but she dressed up as a 
wizard! Complete with a stuffed owl and a pretzel stick:)

Wren got her very own cell phone since she is in love 
with ours! Problem is she still loves ours more ;)

chair from grandma and grandpa!

Princess tiara and stories from grandpa! Can life get any better?

Some seriously angry little girls fighting over Wren's new 
baby doll car seat :) They also spent a good deal of time fighting 
over the baby stroller! It will be interesting watching 4 little girl 
cousins all within a year of each other grow up together!

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PICTURES! THANKS FOR ALL THE 
SUPPORT AND LOVE OVER THE LAST YEAR OF WRENS LIFE!

  2. I must say you put up quite an entertaining party for your daughter’s first birthday. It’s fitting though, as first birthdays are quite a special occasion for the parents. My son’s first birthday celebration was last year, and it was a grand party that we had organized at one of the nearby event venues.
