ahh.. the first birthday, fun stuff, i was at my cousins first birthday just about a week ago. as far as a theme goes, i'm at a loss for ideas but something that my aunt and uncle did at rachel's first birthday that i thought was cool was they made a little cake just for her to play in/eat and after she made a complete mess of herself, she and all the other little kids at the party went swimming in the little blow up pool. it got her cleaned up and all the toddlers had fun doing it
