Yee Ha - Camryn's First Birthday!

We celebrated Camryn Joy's first birthday last Saturday night. Sarah, Tyson and Camryn made the trip to Tyler and brought the party with them. Sarah decided on a Western theme and the creativeness (is that a word?) was pretty impressive. Yes, we live in Texas, but STILL.

First of all Sarah sent a cute invitation that said western wear was optional, so of course we all dressed western! Sarah made Camryn's little shirt from a bandana. So cute. Emery wore her cowgirl pink bow and bluejean skirt.
Tyson's grandmother, Momo attended. She didn't make her famous rolls, but we still let her stay. Sarah cooked for everyone. She made cowboy stew and cornbread. AND...

cupcakes. Chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese icing. And this picture doesn't do them justice, but she made chocolate toppers in the shapes of cowboy boots, the number one, and the state of Texas.

The table decorations were adorable. I now have this yearning for a pair of pink cowboy boots. They were so cute.Beth said that Greg's shirt was more "vaquero" and less cowboy.

We even played a game. Sarah made copies of the pictures that she had taken of Camryn month by month. They were all mixed up, and we had to put them in the correct order. It was the girls against the boys and yes, the girls won. But every couple got a little calendar with the pictures and notes on Camryn's accomplishments for that month. I love it!

Family picture time. Tim (Tyson's dad) borrowed this adorable pony from a friend. It looked so real and was motorized too! It neighed, turned it's head and batted it's eyelashes. Camryn loved it.


Time for presents - let's just say that she did ok. Emery and Beth got in on the fun.



Emery loves her Aunt Sarah.

Rice cereal - not cake - but she loved it and ate it all.

Camryn wasn't sure what to do with her cupcake, but she finally figured it out.



When we got home Greg said, "That was so much fun." And it really was. Happy Birthday Camryn Joy!

PS: Sorry about all the exclamation points, but I just can't help it!
