Coles Family: Alivia's First Birthday!!

We celebrated Alivia's First Birthday on Sunday, March 22nd at the Czech Hall in Dresden. I was bad at getting organized and invitations out :( Since we were so busy with the move and getting settled, I didn't even get everyone's invitation out to them. Thankfully most people were able to make it still :) The week before I actually started planning. I went with a garden bug theme and made her a caterpillar cupcake cake. Everything went according to plan. She was the perfect birthday girl, with the exception of not digging in and making a huge mess with her cake. To no surprise though, her sister didn't either on her first birthday. Her turning one didn't seem to hit me as hard as it did for Alaina. I don't know if it was because I was soo busy with the house or because she is baby #2 or because I wasn't back to work yet, or maybe it's because she's so small she still looks like a baby :) I think she will always be my baby and that will be that. Thanks again to everyone that helped me and for all the lovely, thoughtful gifts. Words can't express how grateful we are for everyone in our lives.
