It was so fun to throw our Little Zanna her first birthday party. We had a lady bug theme. Really the only lady bug items we had were a lady bug cake and cupcakes. It was alot of fun coming up with ideas for the lady bugs. I did not realize how long 50 cup cakes and a cake would take me to decorate. Luckily Jathan was home for the day so he helped with the eyeballs and also took Zanna to run some errands so I could get them all done!
We had her party at Jathan's grandparents property. Thanks to Uncle Jules we had some scrumptious Navajo taco's. That man makes some awesome fry bread. THANKS JULES!
The Yummy Lady Bugs!
This is Jathan's face he pulls when he does not want to take a picture. He is such a little punk.
Singing Happy Birthday
It took her a minute to dig into the cake. She kept picking all the dot's off the lady bugs back. So I took her hand and smashed it into the cake so she could get the hang of it. Once she knew what she was doing she was all over that cake. It was SO CUTE and SO FUN to watch her.It gets pretty chilly at night these days so Thankfully we had a fire going. Zanna ate her cake in front of the fire and was nice and toasty!
Zanna had such a fun time opening her presents. Jathan would pull a piece of the wrapping paper and then hand it to her, then she helped unwrap it the rest of the way. She would look at her new toys and say OOOO. This was a new thing and it was so dang cute. Side note: I forgot the video camera and I am pretty upset about it.
Thank you everyone for coming and having fun with us. Also thank you for Zannas fun new presents. She had a ton of fun playing with her new toys when we got home. She even stayed up two hours after bed time!

Your ladybug cupcakes and cake were so adorable!!! I seriously can't believe your little baby girl is already a year old and I still haven't met her yet!!! Life is crazy..
CUTE cake and cupcakes! You never cease to amaze me, little Mermaid. I love that Zanna's pigtails match the antennas of the lady bug. I'm sure you planned it that way, right? (: Isn't it funny how excited the daddies get with the gift-opening? I love Jathan's face when he's helping her open one! Cute cute!

Happy birthday Zanna! Those cupcakes are so cute! What a fun idea. It's amazing how fast they grow up; next year she'll probably be able to help decorate the cake!

Cute birthday stuff! I did ladybugs for Kaylee's first a few years ago but they weren't half this cute! I have tried to email you about the fabric stuff but it came back to me. Send me an email at marisabills at gmail and I'll get the info to you.
