Inara's first birthday party

Yesterday was a great day. I was, of course, running around like a crazy woman getting everything ready for Inara's birthday party. Shawn and Pop were working on their projects, while mom was playing nanny. I wanted the house to be nice and clean for our guests, especially since this was the first time many of them have seen the new house. I know...none of this mattered to Inara, but it mattered to me. Anyhow, we had a house full of guests: The Tobins, The Rauhs, The McGees, The Chaplas, Jill & McKenna, Elizabeth, Mom & Pop, and the CO Tomlinsons. The kids all seemed to have fun playing and running around. The adults had fun chatting and munching on yummies. Most importantly, Inara seemed to have a blast. She played with the kids and didn't fuss with so many people around, a bonus, especially since she only had one nap yesterday. My little girl did so good! When it came time to have her birthday cupcake, Inara thoroughly enjoyed herself. She even got some icing in her hair. She really seems to like icing and cupcakes. Great the one thing she gets from me...loving the sweets! She was so adorable yesterday. I don't think it's possible to love her more than I already do. Needless to say after her long day, baby girl crashed pretty easily last night. Poor little thing partied herself silly! Thank you to everyone for coming and celebrating Inara's first birthday. Shawn and I appreciated having everyone here to mark this special day with us. We'll get pics posted soon. Well at least once Shawn and Pop finish working on the house. Love ya all!
