Fortunately, Sarah was sitting on a bar stool looking right at her. She laughed and pointed toward the high chair, and said, "look at funny Rachel." I ran right over to her and took her out of the chair before she got hurt, and was very grateful that we didn't have to spend her birthday in the emergency room.
Here are some pictures of the party--please keep in mind that this was a very last-ditch effort!
This may be the only picture we took of her eating her "first" cupcake, but in reality, I think her sneaky sister gave her one at breakfast and another at lunch, so she was totally aware of the protocol by the time she got this one.
Here is a picture of the table--we didn't do much with the theme as far as food goes, except that we had banana splits for dessert made with Ben & Jerry's "Chunky Monkey" Ice Cream. I hadn't ever had it before (because I'm not a big walnut fan) but I really liked it. It reminded me of a banana creamy with a spoon!
The "monkey cupcakes" that inspired the theme. Greg bought some mini Nilla-Wafers the other day, and I thought perhaps I could use them to my advantage.
Do you think she realized this day was all about her?

Very cute pictures. You always throw cute parties even at the last minute. I can't believe Rachel is 1 either! I remember it was right before we left for North Carolina last year and I think I only saw her once. She's a doll!

Very cute Heather! You have to be the best mom in the world! I can't believe your monkey cupcakes! You are out of this world! Sorry we didn't make it up, but I was thinking about cute Rachel all day!
Happy birthday Rachel! Monkey cupcakes are so cute, but I wouldn't expect anything less than amazing, even for a 'last ditch effort' on your part! I don't know how you do it!!
