Bella's house was abuzz with excitement today.
Colorful balloons floated near the ceiling and pretty streamers draped the walls.
Mommy baked a cake with bright pink icing, and it smelled like sweet vanilla.
Daddy hung a banner that read 'Happy 1st Birthday Bella!' with glittery letters.
Soon, the doorbell rang. It was Max, wearing a party hat and a big smile.
Next came Lily with her mom. Lily clutched a gift wrapped in shiny paper.
They played games together, laughing as they passed a ball back and forth.
Everyone sat down for storytime, listening closely to the tale of a brave bunny.
After the story, they all enjoyed the delicious cake, with Bella getting the first piece.
Then it was time for gifts. Bella carefully opened each one, her eyes widening with surprise.
Music started, and tiny feet began to dance. Even Bella swayed to the rhythm.
As the party came to an end, Bella hugged her friends, feeling happy and loved.
