We started the party with lunch and afterwards the kids made birthday cards that Amelia will receive in the future (one each year.) We then headed outside for a nature hike, where the kids were able to participate in some activities concerning their five senses and how wildlife uses their senses to survive in nature.
After our hike, the group headed indoors to watch a slideshow of Amelia's first year. Luckily I had seen the slideshow at least 20 times since making it, so I didn't cry during it. Amelia was then finally able to open her presents. It took a little bit for her to figure out the gift concept, at first she was more interested in the cards. As you will see she loved her birthday cake.
The birthday girl looking so proud. 
Checking out her new book.
Big sister Allison checking out all the new toys that Amelia can "share" with her.
Amelia loved the Dora card, in fact when she saw the card it sounded like she said "DORA". It caught us by surprise.
Amelia checking out her birthday cake. After many failed attempts we have come to realize that we will never be able to evenly bake the cake using that cupcake mold, so it has turned into the "smash cake" for the girls' 1st Birthday.
Testing it out....
Hey, this tastes good....
but it is so hard to get enough in my mouth using my tiny little hands....
Wait...time for a family picture....
OK, now I can get back to my cake...I have to make up for lost time...
Better check to make sure nobody is going to yell at me.
Everyone is laughing at me and taking my picture. This is fun
I look fabulous...I don't know why mom is about ready to dunk me in the sink.
