Hannah had a great first birthday. She heard from lots of family and friends, opened presents, and celebrated with Grandma and Poppy. She’d rather chew on the presents and play with the ribbons and bows than open them, and she’d rather eat fruit and vegetables than eat cake, but that’s ok! It was a special day.
Sweet potato pancakes for breakfast! At lunch, Mommy even let me lick the top of the sweet potato jar. Note the theme: sweet potatoes. Hannah’s favorite.

Saturday, the 11th, we had a Very Hungry Caterpillar themed birthday party in our backyard. It was a great time and we are very appreciative of the friends and family that came from near and far to be here to celebrate.
rested, bathed, and ready to go in my birthday dress! |
The party’s here! We made a huge caterpillar out of beach balls for the front yard. |
Hannah’s monthly “9th” pictures hung on a clothesline with small circles for the guests to sign. |
Daddy worked hard getting everything ready. The signs on the food table are clips from the book. Most of the menu consisted of food eaten by the hungry caterpillar. |
Mommy made a caterpillar for the food table… |
…and a butterfly for the gift table. |
Hannah’s bib (found on Etsy). |

Time to party! |

All the kids had fun playing in the caterpillar tunnel from Aunt Jennifer. |
