Baby Susanna's 1 Year Birthday Party

Today we went to Clayton, NC for a birthday bash in honor of Susanna and Ava's 1 year birthday. Jason and I had a rough start since we were running late and got lost. We couldn't get a hold of Miguel so we took a break to regroup and eat a pizza. We were able to get the directions we used from the fair to navigate our way there. The address is a new development and not yet available by GPS. Luckily, when we got there the party was still hopping.


It was so good to see Miguel, Jessie, and the ever growing Susanna. We got a chance to catch up and Miguel took us on a tour of Susanna's nursery and play room. Jason and I were really interested to see the items other parents have found useful.
They had all kinds of good food at the party. There was BBQ, fried chicken, hush puppies, slaw, potatoes, drinks, and of course birthday cake. Susanna was so cute in her birthday girl outfit. She had a pink shirt that said, "It's my 1st birthday" with a sequined birthday cake. She also donned a pink tutu. What a party princess! She did have to take a break from her party to nap at one point and when she woke up she changed into her jeans. Jason and I got to hold her and feed her a banana. She is not quite as easy for me to hold anymore though, she weighs about 25 lbs and is becoming a big girl. She is learning to walk and talk. She was so cute interacting with her other young friends. It was a really nice party and I'm so glad we got to attend.

We got to see Sissy the dog too. Poor Sissy must miss the days when she was the baby. She still seemed to know Jason and I. I got my usual sniff in the face.

After the roaring good time, we went to Babies R Us to compare baby furniture. Jason captured this picture of me while I was waiting. I can confidently say, I'm smarter than the average bear in this class.
