We try and make a REALLY big deal in our house about birthday's. I just believe that, especially with more than one child, it is one day where that child is a star for THE WHOLE ENTIRE DAY. Our kids love it. So, we got up really early in the morning and started Addie's day by taking her to her first birthday breakfast. 
For Addison's first birthday, we had a fun night with a bunch of friends and family. I made some delicious "Cafe Rio" salads that I googled and found a VERY good recipe for. They were so yummy! We all just sat around visiting and eating. It was definitely my kind of party.
She was going straight for the fire, so I had to blow the candle out for her before we got a chance to sing.
I have worked really hard keeping all sugar and dairy products from this girl for a whole year(of course, except for what her Nana and Aunt JoJo have slipped her behind my back) so she was loving the cake. She only took a couple of bites, though before she got really bored, I guess, and started dumping the cake all over the floor.
Rachel, Maya and Daisy eating the yummy cake.
Addison loving her present from Aunt Cheryl. (my camera battery died so I only got a few of the present openings). But she also got some adorable outfits from everyone and fun bath toys from Nana and an adorable book from Grammy and Bapa.
Kai sneaking into the olive's. This kid is rarely without food in his hands.....especially at a party.

I can't believe you didn't let her dive into the big cake and have it all for herself :) She's just too cute for words!
what a fun mom & day! Every time I read your blog I wish we lived close to each other!
I don't know anyone who can celebrate a birthday better than you can Carrie. Looks like fun.
She is a doll. Especially in the tutu! I bet you just eat her up all day long! First birthdays are the best!
Carrie,
I love 1st bday parties! Our oldest, Savannah actually got a hold of the flame, but luckily she had a ton of frosting on her fingers that it didn't burn her. Looks like a fun party.

what a cute baby girl! And, Kai, with the olives, that cracks me up. Is that instinctual for all kids, to just stick those things on their finger? They some how, just all know to do that!
