I can't tell you how excited I was to finally have creative control over a birthday party again!! Summer's first birthday party was so much fun to plan, and even more fun because the guests were family. So here's what we did:
The theme was bubbles, balloons, balls...oh, and PINK!
It turned out to be a super HOT day, but the kids still played with bubbles, beach balls and hula hoops in the backyard.
The rest of us stayed inside most of the time, enjoying the air conditioning!!
Here are the boys, posing with my mantle decorations:)
And Grandpa posing with my "1" that took FOREVER to make!
My bowl of pink gumballs...
I found these cute cups and had to make them part of Summer's birthday (Sweet Sweet Summer)!
Summer was so sweet opening her presents! She loved every single one!
I was planning on making a Finnish cake, but since I had never made one before and we were having so many people over, and the theme was pink, I changed my mind and made a rose cake. I think it looked adorable for a first birthday cake...even if it was a little lopsided!
And here's a little fun I had with the birthday girl...I couldn't resist:
One day & one year--my, how quickly they grow!
