Little Miss Molly is One!

Yes... I know that it has been almost a month since Molly's first birthday, but better late than never to blog, right. :)

Little Miss Molly turned one on September 4th. I can still hardly believe it! Her birthday fell on a Saturday, so we spent the day celebrating with a big birthday celebration. So many friends and family came to help celebrate the special day. There was a bounce house slide with ball pit for the kids (young and old!) to enjoy - and that they did. It was a cupcake themed party - so of course there were cupcakes of all kinds to enjoy. When it came time to open presents, Molly wasn't exactly sure what was going on for the first few, but she caught on really quick and soon enjoyed tearing them open with vigor. Then came the cake... oh boy did she have fun! She devoured and destroyed it! She had so much fun digging into it and smearing it all over her face and in her hair. She got so many fun toys, she is still discovering the excitement of a new one every day.

Okay, I recognize I am going to get out of chronological order here because I haven't posted Molly's b-day pics yet, but I promise I will get to that tomorrow. Meanwhile, I want to post these because we had such a blast tonight with the Mansell's and Jennings' at the fair! All three of us have kids roughly the same age and they are finally old enough that they are starting to have fun together. At one point they were all dancing together - which was adorable (see video below) and then Molly started hugging both of them (again, see video below). Looks like Molly has found a boyfriend! ;) We really had a great time tonight, I'm so glad that we could finally all get together.

So here is the scoop on the fair... learned that not all corn dogs are hand dipped and we searched high and low to find the ones that were. Also learned that deep fried chocolate dipped bacon is really nothing more than bacon with chocolate drizzled on it. Deep fried Snickers... really not all it's cracked up to be. Oh and Navajo Tacos... $10! Needless to say, we didn't eat Navajo tacos!

Okay, now for the pics...
