Party Time

A week long celebration has begun around our home because Edward turns ONE on Saturday. Last night we started with the infamous restaurant, Hickory Park. Edward LOVED when all the waitresses circled around him to sing. However, his favorite part was getting the "Merry-go-round" ice cream sundae. YUM!
We are planning to have the big party this Saturday night. Does anyone have ideas or suggestions when planning a one year old party? I actually want to keep things pretty simple. My main goal is to have fun with Edward, family, and friends. We'll post pics when available.
We had another party this week with my mom, a few of my sisters, and our dear friend Iola. She has truly adopted all of us as part of her family. Iola has diligently made birthday cakes for each of us (TEN) Rinehart children for years. We love her so much and thank the Lord for placing her in our lives.

We are going to tell people not to wrap the presents on Sophie's first. The momma always ends up opening all of them... This way you can just pile them all together and just let the kid go nuts. :o)

Wow, already 1!
We didn't do anything big for Austin since we had just moved here. So, I don't have much to add. He did like playing with the paper from the wrapping of the presents though.
Can't wait to see pics from his first birthday!

I just opened the toys and then wrapped alot of them, kids don't get too excited about a box. And I was sure to have her party after nap time! just a hamburger cook out at our house for family. It was not hectic and made for nice memories.
