Yes, Anna is now 1! We had a standard first birthday: the grandparents and aunt and uncles came to the house for the weekend. We had food and, of course, cake. Mommy was too crazed to make a cake herself, but we got a delicious and beautiful cake from the Swiss Bakery. We have some video from Anna blowing out her candles, but not any pictures!
To make the party authentic, we had balloons. Somehow, mid-party Owen "lost" all the purple (his favorite color) balloons. It truly is a mystery, but I imagine there was an unsupervised visit outside at some point. Luckily, there weren't too many tears about it... and we all still had a great time.
