She wasn't so interested in opening the presents - not that she had much of a chance. Her two "helpers" took care of the unwrapping for her in record time.
We had a special birthday lunch at home, using the same first birthday decorations that Mom bought for CT almost 4 years ago!
I made her an individual little number one birthday cake that she could eat all by herself...she didn't think that was as neat as Lily did when she turned one. She didn't eat much of it at all, but eventually enjoyed smashing it up a bit.
We went to Cabela's - a huge outdoorman's store - and saw all the displays of taxidermied beasts, and saw all the very large fish in the aquarium, fed trout in the faux trout stream, pretended to play the rifle shooting game and of course got a sample of their fudge.
After a short stop at Wal-Mart (what day would be compete without it?) we went to Pizza Hut for dinner, which was the highlight of the day for Amelia I think. She grabbed every breadstick within reach, from everyone in the family, and thought she was big trying to dip it in the sauce and eat it up. Overall, it was a fun day. We are so happy to have Amelia in our family and can't believe it has already been one whole year! A side note: this is the first time we've ever had a child turn one without another child being on the way. Another first to celebrate on this day!

Happy Birthday Amelia! It sure looks like a great day. I can't believe she's already one! This past year has sure gone by fast.
I'm so glad you told us about this blog - I love seeing pictures of the kids! I've never heard of a 1 year old birthday at Cabela's before! But hey - if she wasn't afraid of stuffed pelts, then why not!!
I can't believe you've been holding out on us with this blog! it's like an overload of cuteness.
