Mealea's 1st Birthday!

Last week was pretty fun in the Som household. My birthday was Monday, and Mealea's was on Wednesday. We had a small get together at our house with just family.

Look how happy Mealea is on her birthday.

She loves being the center of attention, what baby doesn't?

I made two cakes for her birthday. This one is just watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe with a few berries and grapes stuck to it with toothpicks

This one is chocolate cake. We've gotta get her started on her chocolate addiction early

We had spaghetti for dinner, a Som birthday tradition for baby's 1st birthday

We made spaghetti noodles and spaghetti squash. Mealea likes both!

Mealea enjoying her chocolate cake. She only ate a few bites and was satisfied, she loves food, but she doesn't eat very much dessert. I guess she's like her daddy, because we all know she didn't get that from me!

I forgot to take a group picture of all the birthday guests. :( But we had my mom, my sister Abi, brothers Eli and Andrew. We also had my brother Nicholas and his wife Lindsey. My sister in law Erica with her girls, Allison and Natalie. My dad and my brother Nathan couldn't make it because its potato harvest season. My brother Isaac and Sister Hilary are in Rexburg going to school and couldn't make it either. My sister Amanda was also out of town working. I wish everyone could have made it to her party, but they all sent their love to Mealea and her birthday was perfect!

She was pretty tired at the end of the party and was ready for bed. I think Sawyer was the most excited for Mealea's birthday. He was talking about cake and birthdays for weeks. My brother Eli just celebrated his 13th birthday in mid September and Sawyer was so excited he's been talking about it ever since. My 4 year old niece Allison, and my almost 2 year old niece Natalie were at the party too. They were all hopped up on sugar and from all the balloons everywhere and were running everywhere squealing in excitement. 

As nice as the party was, it was also nice when 8 rolled around and we could put the kids to bed and re-gather ourselves.
