Annabelle's First Birthday Party

Bring on the Dogs... "Woof Woof"
In honor of Annabelle's undying love for dogs we designed her birthday party around the cuddly little creatures;)
 The Birthday Girl!

Puppy Dog Cake!



Party Preparations

 
                          My Carnival Hero driving up with the balloons:)
             I'm sure he was quite a sight driving down busy State St. Saturday morning!

 Travis did an awesome job carving the cake! He asked if I was going to go this "all out" for every kid's birthday.... I said "YES!" I think he's worried how many cakes he'll have to do:) haha


 Travis suggested changing the theme to a "gator" party. I'll admit, before ya add the ears and cute button nose, the cake does look like a pink gator!

 Pops worked on this dog house for a couple of hours... definitely a quality, sturdy doghouse for his Grandbaby to enjoy! Thanks Pops:)

Party Time
Annabelle attacked the cornbread! Grammie didn't bother to stop her;)

 Proud Uncle Keith with the GQ look:)

Spicy Jalapeno Chili w/ Cornbread served doggy style!
No one had heard of serving chili over rice... must be a Southern Specialty! 
(recipe to come)

 Ready, Set, Eat!





Cake Time!
Annabelle''s personal doggy cake:)

Annabelle kept putting her foot in the cake! It was absolutely hilarious!
 

Presents!

Annabelle's personality summed up in one picture!!!



I simply love this picture:)

Annabelle you are one loved little girl! Thanks to all who came and helped make our baby girl's birthday one to remember! We love you all and missed lots of family and friends who are far away! 


            Sincerely,                                            
Team Tolman "Woof, Woof!"

  2. What a great party. You thought of everything. It was all so cute. I loved the dog bowl idea and yes, rice with chili is totally a southern thing.
    The cakes turned out cute too! Wish I could have been there. Here's to many birthday adventures.
