I decided to only serve cake & ice cream. My house barely fit everyone and I decided it would have been way too crowded to attempt serving dinner, too. I wanted to make these cute little cupcakes on a stick for her party, but after doing not one but TWO trial runs over the last month, I decided that while they were really cute, they were too time consuming, not that yummy, and over all, just not worth it. So, I made regular cup cakes instead. But, I did find a really delicious recipe for the frosting and I used the toppings that were originally for the mini cupcakes, so I was still happy with the way they turned out.
I spent all this time making Olivia a cute cake for herself. I was really hoping she'd dig into it and make a real big mess. But, she gagged! Yes, that's right. She gagged TWICE! She touched the frosting and then gagged, and then Tyler tried to help her break of a corner of the cake and she gagged again. She wouldn't even taste it. Oh well. She did later enjoy a cupcake, but Wendi had to feed it to her... she wasn't about to touch it. I did catch it all on video, but it isn't letting me upload it. So, I'll try later.
Olivia received all sorts of fun gifts. I am still trying to find a place to put everything. Her favorite seems to be this rocking horse my parents bought her. It's just her size and it makes a galloping noise, whinnies, and its head and tail even move. She can sit on it and rock all by herself and she can also get herself off, which is a pain because she gets off but can't get back on yet. She plays on it all day, kisses it, and pets it.
Wendi gave Olivia a Barney DVD. She loves it. We opened it that night and she and Ellie (Dan & Katy's daughter) stood right in front of the TV to watch it. Is it bad that Olivia is barely one year old and already likes TV?

Happy Birthday Olivia! I can't believe she is already one!! THat went by so fast!! She is so beautiful!!
I went to lunch your your mom and Manda on Saturday with my mom, Marsha and Melanie. They told me about her horse and how much she loved it!!
You are so talented, the cakes and cupcakes looked so yummy!!
Isn;t it time for another one!! JUST KIDDING!!! :) I just had to throw that out there!!
Happy Birthday Olivia. Meagan, she is so cute. I had to laugh when you said that you made this cute cake for Olivia and she wouldn't touch it because Brylee did the same exact thing and it made me so sad. I always see all of the pictures of kids with frosting all over their face, but not Brylee.
I can't believe it has already been a year. I remember bringing Brylee to visit.
I was laughing at Nicole's comment that you should have another one, because I really am and it has been the hardest thing!!
I hope things are going well, we should get together sometime.
Love, Mel
Yes!! I have been waiting for the birthday blog, not so paitently I might add. I can't believe it has been a year already.
Wow, time sure flies. She's already 1. How fun. I love the horse your parents bought her. It's clear from the pictures she's in love with it. So cute.
Happy Birthday Olivia! Wow 1years old already? Meagan she is so beautiful and is growing up so fast I can't believe she is already taking her first steps! You're such a good Momma! :D

That horse is so cute!
Happy Birthday to Olivia! what a doll she is!
My favorite was the gagging...I have never seen a kid do that before!! She's getting big so fast!!
Happy belated b-day. Looks like she had a great day!
One year - how fun! I can't wait to get there. However, I love the newborn stage right now. So, yeah, Darek went to Westridge. I'm going over to their house this week for a Christmas party, so we'll have to play the name game!
Happy Birthday! Time sure goes by quickly! Macy has that exact horse that she got for Christmas last year...she loves it!
Your little girl is a doll.
