Rory's First Birthday, Part 1

Rory enjoyed an early birthday party with three of her closest friends: Greta, Aidan, and Dahlia (also pictured here at 4 months)
Dahlia's mom presented cupcakes for each of the kids.
The moms sang "happy birthday" while the dads took pictures and drank beer.
Rory had a little help blowing out her candle.
But she dove right into the cupcake, smearing icing all over her mommy and herself (there is a reason the dads chose to hang back with the cameras).
Once she was cleaned up (that's the mighty paper roll in the foreground), Rory ate her cake like a little lady.
