Although William doesn't technically turn 1 until Tuesday, we celebrated today with some fellow 2012-born-babies.
The weather was cold and cloudy, but inside was warm and fun!
Ella Rose got to play with two other child guests her age, and they so sweetly put on a dance show for everyone! Behold it here:
Pretty interesting that Dash chose to record it from behind so that you mostly see the audience's reactions, rather than the performers' moves -- but I think it gives you a sense of the relaxing little get-together we had.
The cake part was pretty fun too. I baked another gluten-free cake, that was also dairy-free and sugar-free! The only sweetener used was apple concentrate. Incredible, right?? My goal was to bake a cake that everybody could feel good about feeding their kids, no matter how young. I think it worked out. I will blog about the secret behind these gluten-free cakes and my recent obsession with them soon. ;)
Here is the presentation of the cake and blowing out the candle:
I love how the girls start mauling him with tickles. Ha!
It was a brunch-style potluck that ran from 11am to 2pm.
We made biscuits and greek yogurt with a variety of fixings for both, and guests brought fruit galore. Yum!! No decorations, no gifts. Just celebrating this little boy with the endearing grin and, of course, honoring the family who has gotten him through his first year of life.
One down...at least 17 to go, right?? :D
Well, there will be more birthdayness happening when his real birthday arrives on Tuesday.
But until then, take care and Happy Birthday Party, William!!♥
