Happy First Birthday Desi!

Phew! I don't know which was more work: labor or the first birthday party! Ha Ha. But seriously, I'm pooped. Twenty four hours ago I was getting some work done and finalizing my plans for today. It was going to be a relatively lazy day ending with a not-so-long birthday party starting at 3pm. And then reality set in... Desi woke up at midnight and didn't go back to sleep until around 2:30. She didn't have a high fever, but seemed sick and couldn't settle back to sleep. Then I was up at 6am to head to Nana and Gung Gung's to start the party preparations and make a trip to the grocery store. By 8:50am we were sitting in the Dr's office making sure that Desi was alright. Poor Desi now had an ear infection and an eye infection, so off to the pharmacy for the 10 day supply of antibiotics and a 5 day supply of eye drops. After a short nap it was back to Nana and Gung Gung's house to start preparing for the party.

Of course, we had to have a little more drama when the party rental place didn't show up at 2pm and Dada went off to "fix things". But, it all worked out and we had tents, cotton candy, and a bounce house by 3:30pm. Now all we needed was for it to stop raining. That worked out also and people had a good time. Desi enjoyed her cake, opening her presents, and all the little kids who came by to celebrate the day with her. We finally came home around 10pm leaving a group of people still hanging out at the party.

But even after all that drama, we had a great time with friends and family and celebrating Desi's first birthday.

Colin and I can't believe our little baby is now one. Where did the year go?

Pictures to come!
