We took her swimming during the day because hanging out at the Rec Center is the thing to do when you are in Nampa and because I want a water baby. She was a little hesitant hanging out in the baby pool at first, but slowly warmed up to being in the water and soon started exploring on her own.
We blew up probably 12 balloons and she played with them throughout the day and at night we had pizza, opened presents, and Adaline looked at the cake. No dive into the cake for our little girl, but rather a hesitant finger touch. I don't think she even ended up eating any of the cake. We had a separate grown up cake that we enjoyed and then it was time for bed because our 1 year old little girl was extremely tired from all the playing and celebrating.
My parent's new home was not completed until Christmas Eve so all the birthday celebrations were held at my aunt's house which was a great bonus for Adaline because her house is filled with interesting things that my aunt was always handing to Adaline.
While I have been a little hesitant about almost having a Christmas baby (DO NOT wrap her birthday presents in Christmas paper), being able to celebrate her birthday with family is such an added treat to her already special day.
