To celebrate Ginny's first birthday, we had a block party cookout in our back yard, the first time we have hosted our neighbors since we moved into our home. It was a really good turnout (I was worried I would run out of food!) and we had about 50 people here, mostly neighbors with a few of our good friends from playgroup. Ginny got a stand-up water play table from Mommy and Daddy, and we also had a baby pool, multiple slip-n-slides, and lots of tents and fans to help everyone stay cool. Ginny definitely knew that the party was all for her and she enjoyed all the attention.
eating Mommy's homemade macaroni and cheese - one of her favorites!
She was such a little lady with her cake...she enjoyed it, but mostly just ate the strawberries and frosting off.
She did end up getting a little messy though!
