For the mooooost part of the night, Brinley was in a Great mood! But, like all 1 year old parties, the babies stay happy for only soooo long.
So yes, Brinley cried at her party. She didn't nap too well today but I was SO excited to have friends over and also an excuse to make some realllly awesome appetizers :-) We're all fat kids deep down right?
I made:
>the smokies, rolled in bacon, and cooked in brown sugar recipe I got from a friend in Rexburg. TO. DIE. FOR. And soo bad for you.
>The best cream cheese veggie dip ever!
>and cupcakes my mother-in-law sent us!
5 minutes before 4pm, Ryan goes, maybe I should dress up! hahahaha So we whipped up a "geek" outfit. I ended up making cat ears so I could be Brinley's Mommy Cat. I thought we looked super cute together :-)
Party favors on the left (definitely forgot to give those out before everyone left!)
Cupcakes!
Tiff, we FINALLY got our pics completed. I love it up there!

Brinley doing her zombie walk/run. She is now 80/20 walk/crawl ratio. Proud of her!
Thank you Martha Stewart for this idea! I love it!
Our great friends, The Browns. Cute idea right??? Their son is only 6 weeks younger than Brinley. We hang a couple times a week. Helps both Mommies to get out, right!? Lonely grad school wives with babies... tonight They won, Best dressed! Love you guys!
It was great to have our friends over. I LOVe any excuse to throw a party and get people together. Our great friends provided new jammies for Brin (because she is wearing 6-9 month ones that are just tooooo tight) and homemade hair bows and clips. So excited!
