A "Hoot" of a Good Time!

This past Saturday, Mike and I celebrated Abigail's 1st Birthday with our closest friends and family. It went off without a hitch and we all had a blast! I'll be completely honest here and admit that getting things ready for her party was the most fun I've had in quite awhile.

As you may have guessed from the preview of her party invitations that I posted last month, the theme was, " Look WHOOO's turning one!" (think, lots of cute little owls). Now that the party's over, I can't seem to part with all of the adorable decorations so I plan on packing them away in Abbey's memory box for her to look at in the future.

You should probably know going foward that this post will be extremely picture/video heavy. Consider yourself warned!

(P.S. I apologize for the crappy quality of some of the pictures. It appears that our camera may be on it's last legs. Le sigh. )

First, the decorations:

A very happy Abigail with Mike:

She played with her toys while waiting for all of her guests to arrive. I attempted several times to get a decent picture of her entire outfit, but I failed miserably.

She was NOT happy about having to wear her hat.

She was MUCH happier about eating her cake, however.

The finished product...

And now, for the videos!
