1st Birthday Party

We had Kennedy's birthday party on Saturday, and it was a blast!  It was a Hawaiian theme, and the decorations and cupcakes turned out really cute.  I don't have any pictures of them.  In all the hubbub I forgot, but my dad got pictures, so he's going to send me some.  But we did get pictures of Kennedy enjoying her party.  Except for the hat.
She loved the hat at the store, but I guess it wasn't a hit the next day.  We opened presents, of course, and Kennedy got quite a haul.  She is one spoiled little girl and now has way too many toys.
She had fun with the cupcake we gave her too.  She didn't get the candle, but we took care of that and blew it out for her.  The first thing she went for was the frosting.  She just put her fingers in it and licked it off for the first little while.
After a few minutes, I broke the cupcake in half, and she liked that a little bit better.  She stuffed it in her mouth, but she didn't make that much of a mess.
We had a bunch of family and a few of her friends there, and it was so much fun!  Her cousins had a hula hoop contest, with a grass skirt for a prize.  The weather was decent, so we were able to have it at the park.  People played frisbee, soccer, and bocce ball.  Thanks to everyone who came, especially dad who came all the way from Texas, to celebrate Kennedy's first birthday!

So cute :)Here's the question though, had she eaten cupcakes before or was this her first introduction?
