Birthday Date with Mommy & Daddy

Whew, the first birthday has come and gone! We had so much fun celebrating this big event in Nina's life. We kicked it off with a whole date day with mommy and daddy. We started off the day with a breakfast birthday party complete with blueberry pancakes, balloons and presents!

All set up for the birthday girl to wake up

What?!? Daddy is here on a "school" day!

OK guys...I'm not 100% awake yet.

Hmmmm, but some balloons might help that!

Elmo came for my birthday!

Blueberry pancakes....my favorite!

After breakfast we headed out for the Madison zoo. Nina loved seeing her favorite toy come to life...sophie the giraffe! We also rode on the carousel & train, and fed the goats in the petting zoo. Nina still has no fear when it comes to animals, she was all about the goats!

After all that we were all starving,  so we went to Ella's deli! Nina got a special baby platter and her first taste of a root beer float.

After a nap we had a pizza party and Nina got to dig into a cupcake. It was a jam packed, fun first birthday....how different than 1 year ago on this day!

Ok, so I didn't eat pizza at the pizza party...but  I had lots of pasta!

Ooooo! What's this?

Yum!

I approve!

Sugar rush!!!

Happy birthday baby girl!
