We had fun going through Sadie Beth's birthday package from her Grandma and Grandpa Balzer. She especially loved the Elmo card. In fact, Elmo had to sit at the dinner table for several nights with Mommy pretending to feed Elmo in order to get Sadie Beth to eat.
And puffs are always fun! 
Sadie Beth got a pretty dress too...but boy the hanger was the most exciting part of it all!
She tossed the tissue paper around the room for a little while. 
We had a mini-party at home...nothing big, just her 2 one year old friends that she plays with at least once a week. 
Amelia, Elijah, and Sadie Beth are such fun babies...it has been great seeing them grow up together this first year. 
I found this little puppy dog cake at Kroger. It is 2 cupcakes shoved together and then covered in icing. Sadie Beth got so excited when she saw it and whenever she got to look at it, but wanted NOTHING to do with it and cried when we tried to get her to touch it.
She danced while we sang Happy Birthday. 
Sadie Beth was being "so big" with Grammy.
Her big birthday party was with family in Indianapolis. My cousin and her husband, Jennifer and Adam, were awesome to host a party for her. It was fun to seeing family and celebrating Sadie Beth with everyone. As you can see, Jenny got Sadie Beth a BEAUTIFUL cake. 
So nice, in fact, that Sadie Beth didn't want to smash into it!!! She really had no idea what to do, I think probably because I don't really let her have much in the way of sweets. We tried to get her to dive in, but she just observed.
Look at her, all decked out in her birthday accessories...
Don't be fooled, the damage to the cake came from us trying to show her how to dig into it....
Aaron, Jennifer and Adam's now 1 year old son (Sadie Beth's 2nd cousin), on the other hand, knew exactly what to do with the cake. At his birthday party last weekend, he dug right into his teddy bear cake. 
Again, don't be fooled, I think I put her hand in the cake and about 10 seconds after she started crying. :)
She sure thought it was pretty though!
Sadie Beth did a great job at her birthday party after she recovered from the cake experience...she had a great time with family.
