Ickity Dickity Dock had her very first birthday party. It was heart themed, because we all heart Navy. I ordered a jump house/slide (not heart themed, since there is not even one in existence!), and people kept asking me if she was too young to enjoy something like that. Well, not my little Navy! I had a hunch, and I was completely right. She was in complete heaven as she could bounce, jump, dance, roll, climb, slide and mostly be with her cousins and brother all day long. The party was a hit, and I have one bazillion pictures to prove it! And these don’t even include Megan’s eight bazillion pictures!
There were hearts everywhere. I don’t have any pictures of the decorations, but I know Megan came through. We served heart shaped pasta salad, sliders with heart toothpicks, heart water, italian cream sodas with heart cups and straws, etc. Then of course Megan came through with an entire candy table of heart candy….that’s my girl!
Icka would kick like crazy so that whoever was holding her would let go. She loved the slide!
She didn’t quite make it up, but she was constantly trying to climb the ladder to get down the slide again. (To think that Scout couldn’t even walk at this point in his life.)
Some hot hired help in the kitchen. He was cutting up Pecans for the tasty cinnamon rolls my mom made for dessert. I am not sure, but did he shape them into a heart for me?
Icka was so exhausted, I had to put her down for a nap in the middle of the party. When I went to get her, she was completely in dreamland, and was not happy to wake up.
We tried some dinner for her, but look at that stinky look she is giving Papa. I don’t think the food was quite working.
But once she was back in the bounce house, she perked right up. Here she is running across.
But then she was attacked by her stalker Royal. He might be a little obsessed, because every time he sees her, he tackles her and just lays on top of her while hugging her within an inch of her life. I love it, but Britni worries for Navy. Little does Brit know that I have a toughy on my hands, and she is just around the corner from beating him up. Look at her pushing him away with all of her might. Probably has something to do with our talk about how she can’t date until she is 16.
Present time was great. (Look at Colby getting in trouble in the back!)
She especially liked her books, that I have already read to her dozens of times.
Of course Megan and Trilby couldn’t let Scout go a day without a present, so he opened a few too. Here he is getting big boy underwear, and is obviously ecstatic! And he had already played with his floor puzzles that were another big hit.
Icka found a chair that wasn’t occupied, and obviously had to climb it — because that is what dainty and ultra feminine little girls do. At least her new tutu helped in the cause of being girly.
Her teeny tiny cake had her baffled at first. Look how cautious she started out.
Then she started to eat it like a dog (her latest way of munching down). I love how Scout is gasping in this picture.
I was hoping for a WAY bigger mess, but maybe she is more dainty than I thought. I hope not! I love my little tomboy.
After she was all cleaned up, and put into heart P.J.’s, she walked around with one of the heart decorations around her neck.
She is the cutest little thing in the world!
I am in total love.
We all definitely heart Navy!
