We had Eva Brooke's first birthday party August 6 at our house. As bad as I hated to "rush" her to being any older, it worked better to have it on the weekend before her actual birthday (the 11th). Eva Brooke was thrilled to have to have all her favorite people at her house!
A big, BIG thanks to Angie, who abandoned her children (no, not really), endured a errand-running monsoon, worked tirelessly helping me decorate, let me borrow her vehicle (when I couldn't get mine out of the garage due to power outage), and babysat (and changed a dirty diaper) while I was out. Oh, and she was also the photographer. I am so very proud of how it all turned out! Thanks, Angie, so much for your help.

| She's not so sure about that candle (and that is why we are holding her hands!) |
 |
| That first taste was GOOD! |
 |
| I loved this shot of everyone looking at Eva Brooke |
 |
| She's got a sweet tooth like her Mama, but prefers icing only like her Daddy! |
 |
| Cotton took care of clean up! |
 |
| I remember saying, "so when do we take it away from her?" She just kept eating and eating. |
 |
| Now for the cleaning up part, which was amazingly not that bad! |

 |
| And look who we found sneaking Eva Brooke more cake! |

| Eva Brooke's gorgeous jumper is a custom-piece handmade by the super-talented Momma Lyn. Mimi put the neat cupcake on and also made the monogrammed banner in the background. Did I mention how awesome these grandmothers are?!? |

| EB has just loved having so many new toys |
 |
| One sugar-filled, sweet, happy girl! |
