Brookelynn's First Birthday party!!!

We had Brookelynn's first birthday party at 3 pm on Labor Day Sept. 7th. It was a pool party with this little fishy theme. We invited all of Brookelynn's little friends. The guest included: The Beals(B&A), Griggs, Holders, Marinellis, News, G-Parent News, Peels, Ratliffs, & Selfs. We had a great time. Thanks to the adults for bearing the heat while the kiddos swam! This was the greeting when everyone came to the door.

All the kiddos seeing how many people they could get in the little pool.
Sweet birthday girl!!
Brookelynn wasn't sure about all of it at the beginning. Sweet Rachel helped her ease in to the fun!
Tate was most concerned with drinking the water. It was HOT!!

It is cake time for everyone else. This is the only picture that we got of the food table.
Present time! Brookelynn loved all of her new toys. She had lots of help opening them.
She got a car and was really excited about the big box
Party Favors: LIVE goldfish!
Some of their names were: Pablo, Jorge, Bait, Hali, Andrew, Hayden, Jenni and Maddox. Sadly, none of these fish made it through the week! Something to keep in mind for next time!
Sorry parents! The kids loved them!

This was such a perfect first birthday. We had a blast, and I think Brookelynn did too! Thanks to everyone who helped make this day special! We are so blessed by this little girl!
