Hungry Caterpillar

Our Annabelle turned one, and we celebrated with a beautiful birthday party planned around the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. It was a small party that included GiGi and Gpa, our wonderful neighbors and one other family from church that we love. Katy Jo helped with several things. She was so excited for the party and kept repeating, "Happy Birthday to Annabelle!"

GiGi put together a fun time of crafts which the older kiddos enjoyed. Afterwards, Daddy read the hungry Caterpillar's story.
We enjoyed some finger foods that the hungry Caterpillar also ate in the story. Then we, of course, sang to sweet Annabelle and ate cake! GiGi had put together the "cupcake worm" and the bright red head that was the smash cake for baby.

It was a lot of fun and totally worth the planning! Happy Birthday to a tiny chub that makes me smile all day long! I love your dark eye lashes and bright blue eyes. Your curiosity never ends and you have discovered just about all of Katy Jo's toys as well as Mama's kitchen cabinets. You love tearing through the house and making a big mess! We love you and can't wait to see you take your first steps...
