Happy 1st Birthday to Annika! We hosted her birthday party in our apartment the Saturday before her actual birth date. It was great to be able to have my dad and step-mom in town to help us prepare for the party and relax the next day. I had no idea that a child's party would take so much planning and energy! I thank Pinterest for food and decoration ideas. It was Kyle's idea and creativity that provided us with a home-made pinata. I anticipate that this will be a birthday tradition. We appreciated the friends and family that were able to come and celebrate this milestone with us. We would have loved to be able to invite more people, but it gets a big tight in our apartment! Having 9 children and accompanying parents was quite the full house for us! It was fun to have the kids in costumes, even if the costumes didn't stay on for very long.

| Quite the active bunch. I especially liked Indy as a monkey and her little brother as the banana :) |

Yummy food with a pumpkin cake, cupcakes with black cats on the top, and plenty of snacks.

| Annika only wanted to eat the chocolate cat from the top of the cupcake. |

| We had plenty of help for opening the presents. |
