Having a birthday party at your house is a lot of work, y'all. Especially on the heels of your best friends wedding. But we did it and it was a HUGE success!
By far, my favorite party decoration was the dessert table. I tried to go with a pink and white polka dot theme with the desserts as well. They included pink popcorn with white sprinkles, pink covered marshmallow treats, pink and white cupcakes, and pink lemonade with striped and polka dot straws in mason jars instead of regular cups.
The centerpiece was her first birthday "faux" chalkboard made by Paper Dime Design and only cost $2.00 to print at Staples.
My mother-in-law made this cake, how gorgeous is that?!
And a close-up of the "One" we made using pictures from her first year. Huge hit, by the way!
Baby K was all decked out in her pink and polka dot outfit. She had a great time seeing everyone.
That was, until she was put in her uber adorable high chair that her mommy spent so much time painting and decorating and Lost. Her. Shit.
Here I am thinking that if I hold her, she'll lose less of her shit. No such luck.
Turns out, she was exhausted. I snuck in while the party was still going on to take a picture of our party pooper, all pooped out.
When everything was said and done, the 25 people that we had in our shoe box sized house had a great time and we have tons of memories to share with Baby K once she's old enough.
And here is a last shot of some of the details before they were taken down.
First time mom. First time wife. Figuring out how to be the best at both. Daily.
