Not to say that it wasn't a memorable event, but PHEWFFFF!!!! The party was fantastic (like, Emily should go into the party-planning business FANTASTIC), yet the exhausted mama in me is kinda glad the whole sha-bang is over. I'm not sure if that confession makes me a bad person or not, but at least it makes me an HONEST person. My mind has been worry-mania for weeks. I had big fears about everything getting done in time and even bigger fears about Nory being in a good mood for the whole two hours. The latter was instigated by first birthday horror stories that came at me like white on rice. EVEN TODAY I heard one at the dentist's office. The dentist's baby cried the ENTIRE PARTY and wanted NOTHING to do with ANYBODY (even close family members!). He said that he's never been more humiliated in his life. In fact, he refused to host a first birthday party for his daughter due to emotional scars from the premiere attempt. Ah-hem, it was THAT BAD! So I suppose my worry was warranted.........right?
Thankfully, Emily is the best godmother ever and Nory is the best baby ever. Everything for the party DID get done on time and Nory had a WONDERFUL time at her birthday party. She loved the hours of attention and I believe her guests enjoyed the hours of entertainment. (That girl knows how to turn it on, I tell you. You just might see her name in lights one day.....)
All of our friends and family members were extra generous with their gifts (as in: we need a bigger house!). Nory has many new flowers to smell, toys to play with, books to read, and clothes to show off at the Avenues. I think she's spent quality time with every item she received, with a few extra minutes being enjoyed with her first little hammer. Did I mention that in that bigger house, we ALSO NEED an endless supply of earplugs? ;) All jokes aside, A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! We love you! xo
I will try to post some pictures in a few days. For now, I will tell you that we are back to the simpler times. Just us and a whole lot of toys on the living room floor. The stuff that all good afternoons are made of ;)
