Monroe's birthday party was on Saturday. We had a lot of friends and family come celebrate with us. Here are some pictures of the decorations and the party.

My favorite decoration (Thanks Pinterest)
Zach's mom and I got together Friday night to make and decorate the cakes. She ended up doing all of the cake work while I hung decorations. She made a three layer cake (left), a miniature three layer cake for Monroe (right), and cupcakes. They all turned out beautiful and delicious.

Yarn balls (Pinterest) and tissue paper balls
the living room
On her birthday each month, I took a picture of Monroe. I hung these and labeled them by month.
It was too cold to be outside, so we put tables and chairs in the basement.
Entrance to our house
For food, we had hamburger cheese dip, buffalo chicken dip, spinach artichoke dip, cream cheese corn dip, hot pepper raspberry cheese ball, veggies with dip, and fruit with dip. Did you notice the theme?

Monroe got so many fun presents. She wasn't too impressed with the opening part, but we made it through. I don't know if I'll ever get to buy her clothes because our family and friends love shopping for her. I guess I'll stick to headbands and shoes.
Monroe didn't know what to think of the Happy Birthday song
The cake, however, was an immediate hit. She dug right in.
It didn't occur to me to take video while she was eating, but thankfully our friend, Emily, was on the ball. Here's Monroe eating her cake.

Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate!
