So the big day finally arrived - Lauren's first birthday party. She had a marvelous time celebrating with friends here in Chicago. She did miss her out of town family, but thanks them for their gifts and well wishes and can't wait to see them soon.
Here's a description of the events. Lauren kicked off her party by being asleep when the first guests began to arrive. Finally Liz woke her up and she donned her lovely first birthday dress (thanks Trinity for the loan) and was a bit surprised by all the mayhem (we were surprised she had slept with 30+ people walking around on her ceiling). The weather was nice, so Lauren and some of the other kids enjoyed the new swing that Jace installed for Lauren on the porch. The mostly Cinco de Mouse-o theme was injected here and there with some mariposa touches, notably the butterfly shaped cake that Liz and Jace made. Eventually everyone got down to business with Happy Birthday singing (Lauren beamed up from her highchair while everyone sang!) and then she daintily nibbled on her cake.
Here's the three-minute video of the event:
There is also a: High Resolution Version available.
We think a good time was had by all. And Lauren even went to bed on time and slept until 6am (that's sleeping in for Lauren)...waking up with some babble and finally called "Dada" to come get her.
Oh, and yes Liz got her haircut...really cut!
This is just a quick video shot on our camera. We will be posting the official video with singing soon. Warning - this video is loud (it was a party!):
