may is 1!

Every birthday is awesome,  but first birthdays are special.  They sort of represent the change from baby to toddler (aka troublemaker).  I have a love/hate relationship with first birthdays.  I love watching my babies hit milestones, but I mourn for the loss of a place they will never be at again.

May's first birthday was no different.  Luckily, her birthday falls around the same time as the Independence day weekend.  It sort of took some of the sting away because everyone was celebrating all around us.  Not to mention, the hot summer weather made the cake smash out side extremely convenient. 

Because May has been my biggest baby, and also my best eater, I had pictured that her cake smash would be a little more exciting than it was.  I really thought she would tear into the thing.  Sadly, she did not.  Her brothers and sister were more than happy to help make it look more impressive though.

As far as first birthdays go, we are pretty low key, but we had a great time celebrating the beginning of a new era at the Williams house!  We love our May May!
