One

It's come fast...one more week until she is one year old.

Dilemma.

Does a one year old really need a party? The practical, sensible part of me says no. It's not like she will remember it; have some cake, take a few pictures, we're good to go.

The fun, birthday loving part of me says of course she does!! But then Ms Sensible steps in and says, "come on, all that money, time and effort when she won't have a clue that it's her birthday or even what a birthday IS? Wait until next year."

So of course sensible side will win out. But there will be a cake (or cupcakes at least) of some sort, specifics have not been determined....and there will be an awesome helium filled, foil "1" balloon. Everyone needs a balloon on their birthday.

She will have to wait a couple of days for the partying to begin since Grandma and Grandpa F are making their way down, I don't think she'll mind, do you?

Oh, and what do you get for a one year old? She likes magazines, remotes and coasters better than any of her toys. Guess she'll just have to get some more clothes then. :o)
