Melissa's First Birthday

No sooner was the wedding over than it was time to start planning Melissa's first birthday. I had already decided that i would have a little party for her with a few family members. Nothing too big as she wouldn't be able to fully appreciate it anyway. lol. I bought her a waybuloo toy named De Li. Its this pink cat thing. lol. I got in a load of pink balloons and lots of party food and soft drinks. I had also made it perfectly clear when inviting family over that my sister Lisa's Husband Rory was not invited. Certainly not after the nuisance he caused at my wedding reception. There was no way i was going to have anybody ruin my little girls birthday. I told Lisa this and she was fine with it. She understood. Rory on the other hand was a little annoyed about it. But i couldn't care less how he felt. After all, this was not about him. It was about my little girl. The big day came, the balloons were all blown up and stuck to the walls with cellotape, party food was layed out. It looked really good. The only thing left was for the guests to arrive. They soon started arriving, the music was put on and everyone started getting into the party spirit. Melissa got loads of presents. She was truly spoilt. lol. Although, just like with Christmas, she was more interested in the wrapping paper. lol. Bless her. Everyone had a really good time. I did have to keep telling mum off though as she kept on trying to offer sugary foods to my nan who is diabetic. lol. But it was a really good day. I was a little dissappointed that Andrea couldn't come with her partner and 2 children as she was apparently ill. This meant that Melissa was the only child at her party. lol. But it didn't really matter too much. Lisa bought Melissa's birthday cake with a big number 1 candle to go on it. It was a Disney Princess cake and it was very tasty. Melissa thoroughly enjoyed eating some of her cake. I was actually a little sad when the day was over as we had all had so much fun. Especially seeing as there was no Rory to make a prat out of himself. lol.
