My little sister's baby girl, Paige, turns One year old tomorrow!! The whole fam was together last weekend so we celebrated it then & my sis did a Great job w/ her Party!! Paige is already obsessed w/ Dora the Explorer so she did the whole party around Dora the Explorer. She put together a map for the kids to follow just like on 
the TV show & the kids had a great time. You can go to her blog for a complete play by play of the whole event (she's linked on my page under Amber & Josh Hammand). Here is a pic of Mike & I possing as Dora & her sidekick Boots (Amber drew these). It was really funny to see everyone possing behind them, young & old.
It is also a tradition in our family, like most, to strip the kid down to their diaper and let them dig into their first cake. Well, Amber found directions for a Dora cake on Nick Jr. & somehow with Amber getting the party all together, I ended up taking over on the cake & I have to say I am really proud of myself!! I have never done a decorative cake before but it was alot of fun!! Below is a little step by step outline of how it went :)
Paige your Aunt Traci & Uncle Mike LOVE you VERY much and we hope you enjoyed your First Birthday!! Happy Birthday!!!

You are the world's nicest sister to make a Dora cake...at least finish it. You rock. I have to admit my favorite part is the "I am Tracy with the body of Dora" photo ops. Amber is a an awesome Mom for throwing the 1st year extravabirthday. She is blessed to have such a good sister to lend a hand.
Kids grow up so fast. What a fun party! You did a great job on the cake. I know how to call when Aspen turns 1 :) Haha.
I love the post! And Paige loves her Aunt Traci and Uncle Mike very very much too! I'm so lucky to have you as a sister! Thanks for ALL your help for the party! I know I put you up to a lot, but you did an AWESOME job!! It was a great party and I hope Paige will grow up and see the video and pictures and apprechiate what we did for her!! I'll help you out when it's your turn!
Wow, impressive! Last year for my little boy we did a Harry Potter cake and I wasn't brave enough to take on Harry Potter, so we did a snake cake:)
We had such a fun weekend and the party was great. You are a wonderful aunt and you did a fantastic job on the cake.
Holy Crap! That cake is amazing! What are all the other hidden talents of the incredible Traci?
