I know that a one-year-old will never remember the day. She will enjoying looking back at pictures one day. But for me, planning the first birthday for my first born, was the most fun and creative outlet I've had for myself this past year! What a blast! And to see that she and our guests had a good time as well, totally worth it for me. Check out all the fun we had...

We had a beautiful day to celebrate a beautiful girl. It wouldn't have been anything without all of our family and friends there to celebrate with us. I do think she knew there was something special about that day. So many people around to love her. Balloons. Cake. She was so excited about the day she didn't even take a nap. We instead continued celebrating the day playing outside. I just had to include this picture. My sweet-cheeked (baby) girl.
