Zoe Turns ONE!

We celebrated Zoe's first birthday on August 10, 2009. Boy what an event. Remind me to NEVER ever again have such a huge party. The break down: 7 boxes of cake mix, four 2 lb bags of powdered sugar, 2 lbs of butter and half a gallon of milk = a massive birthday cake for about 45 people, tons of sugar, wrapping paper and toys = one exhausted little one year old, but she had a good time and now has more toys and books than any toddler would ever know what to do with. (Pictures will be uploaded as soon as I have them).

Zoe seemed to be having a rough morning, so as the awesome parent I am, in order to get her to play and stay out from under my feet as I decorated her huge cake, I let her play with a plate full of frosting...she was covered, I was covered, the dogs were covered, and the dishwasher was marked with little hand prints. :D I thought it was pretty funny...until I tried getting the dogs cleaned up X-( oh well, Zazu was thrilled and was sucking on her hands and arms even after I gave her a bath to clean her up, ( I think she was hoping for some leftovers).
