1st Birthday Party - What did/are you going to do? - Page 2

So, unbeknownst to me until today, my parents planned a little family birthday party for today (we do Sunday dinner at their house every week). It was so sweet! I will post some videos soon. I broke my no processed food rule with her and let her have a slice of apple pie AND a cake pop my sister made, because if a birthday isn't a reason to allow a bend in the rules, I don't know when is!

Cecilia's Mama, how did the party go?? I am really curious since we are set to have a big party in June for my daughter's first birthday. We both have huge families, so we expect about 50 people!! Crazy!!

Malachi is only 6 months old, but I'm envisioning a picnic at a park with a few couple friends and their babies. It would probably be about 5 couples and 7 babies/kids. I plan on making a raw vegan chocolate cake (dates, walnuts, avacado, agave, and cocoa) and buying plain gelato (just milk, cream, and sugar) at a local shop. Maybe one balloon for him to play with (no helium, so it doesn't fly away!). Just a simple, fun afternoon :) 

We live on a different continent than all our family, so no family.

It was great! Everyone had a blast, Cecilia was sweet and charming, and a good time was had by all. Unfortunately, by 12 hours out, all three of us (husband, Cecilia and I) have come down with a stomach virus. I'm just hoping at this point that we didn't get anyone sick.
