It's almost like a double celebration - her turning a year old and us surviving our first year of parenthood :) </p> <p>We're having our party on the 21st at a library by our old house (going home for Christmas!). Still working on planning it, but it's going to be a fun library/children's books themed party :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dec-12-babies-happy-1st-birthday#post-1258559 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 10:23:19 +0000 butterbean 1258559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: we're baking the cake too!! i think we're going to do a couple test batches first and since his party isn't for a few weeks, we still have time to go buy a cake if our test batches fail...lol</p> <p>i wanted to do a rainbow layer cake but DH shot that idea down (he doesn't mind the layer cake but he just doesn't want rainbow colors) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dec-12-babies-happy-1st-birthday#post-1258535 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 10:17:38 +0000 fancyfunction 1258535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@butterbean: Exciting!</p> <p>I have to cook a bunch of stuff and bake the cakes (my first cake attempt!)
