It was very cute and Jocelyn had a great time! She ate the majority of a large bag of popcorn too!
She looks so tiny in that theater, doesn't she?

Reagan's First Birthday Party!
How fast a year has gone by!
We just celebrated Reagan's FIRST birthday!!!
Our baby girl is one and we can hardly believe it!
We had Reagan's first birthday party on Sunday, July 10th. The day before her birthday. I decided on a polka dot theme, and had a lot of fun with it!1
Here are what the invitations looked like:
I went a little crazy with decorations and spent a lot of time making the banners, but like Todd kept telling me, you only have your first birthday once! ;-)
This banner had a picture of Reagan for each month of her life.
Thank goodness we had a tent! It was a pretty hot day the day of the party.
I had my heart set on a pull-apart cupcake cake, and decided to make them look like giant polka dotted cupcakes. I really had fun making and decorating these as well! I was really happy with how they turned out.
Reagan's chair was decorated as well!
I made some polka dotted party favors too!
I also couldn't resist personalized M&Ms. They just look so much like polka dots, and how cute is it that you can get little pictures of Reagan printed on them?
I did always want to eat that cute little face! ;-)
After eating lunch, which included chicken salad on croissants, meatball hoagies, fruit salad (which I may add looked very polka dotty as the watermelon, cantaloupe were scooped out with a melon baller), pasta salad and potato salad (thanks Grandma 1). We all moved inside to sing 'Happy Birthday' to the birthday girl. She resisted the highchair at first, but gave in after being given a spoon to play with. Everyone sang, which Reagan really seemed to enjoy, and then we gave her her first-ever piece of cake, which she also enjoyed!
After she was cleaned up, she got to open all of her presents!
Reagan had a really good time at her party. The funny thing about it all is that we were all there to celebrate her and she hadn't a clue. She didn't appreciate the decorations or the cake (besides the fact that she got to eat it), that her grandparents had driven up from North Carolina and New York to celebrate with her, she just loved being around everyone she loved. I'm so happy we were all together to celebrate our little Reagan!

The 4th of July
This was Reagan's first 4th of July!
She wore the most fitting shirt: Little Miss Firecracker!
Jocelyn got to try sparklers for the first time!

We went to the Brentwood 4th of July parade--who would miss it?!?
Jocelyn's friend Ansley came too!
Meme and Papa were here as well!
Later that night we went to Kennywood. We stayed for a couple of hours before the rain came and closed the park down. That was a real bummer!
But at least Jocelyn got her first taste of Potato Patch french fries while we waited out the rain!
Reagan got her first taste too. I don't think she liked the ketchup!
We were planning on watching the fireworks at Kennywood, but ended up back in Brentwood for the show. Reagan's reaction to them? She could have cared less. She sat on my lap and watched them and at times seemed irritated at how bright they were, turning her head into my shoulder. I was most amazed that she stayed awake for the entire show and even the walk home. She didn't go to bed until 10:45pm! What a trooper!! It was a fun 4th!
