First Birthday Politics

We are going to our little buddy Cole’s birthday party on Saturday. I am really excited!  I have always loved birthday parties. From the time I was wee I would plan for weeks, nay months to provide the perfect party; for myself, my sisters, anyone who needed (or was coerced) into my assistance.

I remember organizing a kick ass clown themed party for Auntie Soph when we were little. I had a blast! Too bad Auntie Soph was scared of clowns – oops, didn’t consult the client well enough there.

Now, come my baby’s one-year-old milestone I find myself a little apprehensive.

There are politics surrounding the first birthday!
Does the baby get her first taste of cake (aka SUGAR)?

How do I draw the line on the guest list; friends, family, mommy groups, etc etc

The gift policy…?

As I’m writing this I’m starting to feel a little foolish.

It doesn’t matter does it?!?! No she won’t have cake, I will. I am really lucky to have so many friends that I love and family too! Gifts…? Bring em on! She’s worth it and her friends are too. After all, I’m working now!

PARTY!!!!

Wicked Meatball recipe coming tomorrow and a super easy sour cream apple pie on Sunday – just have to copy them out!!

Here’s a couple of photos of Little E going for exactly what she wants…determined little devil; and jamming on the piano with her friend Parker.
