Celebrate!

So I seriously spent 4 months planning my sweet baby Blaire's first birthday party and it didn't disappoint.  I figured she'd only turn one once so why not go big?!  What a special day it was filled with family, friends, cake, and fun.  Thanks to my sweet sissy and brother-in-law for hosting and my dear friend, Amy for taking such great party pics!

The Birthday Girl.

I decided that turquoise and orange were the perfect colors for a summer birthday bash. Add some fun tile prints and ... voila!  I found a shop on etsy that helped me design all the paper printables.  I also spent a lot of time at Target and Party City (and countless hours online!) browsing for party supplies in our colors.  So much fun!

I made the welcome wreath.
A fun way to let our guests know they had arrived at the party place!

I found these super cute boxes at Target.
A little embellishment and they were perfect for holding roses, paper straws, and forks.

Cupcakes, cookies, taffy ... yum!

Party favors.

Face painting for the kiddos!

Cake time!  Blaire wasn't quite sure what to make of her cake.  She was more interested in showing off for everyone by clapping and laughing.  We finally gave her a spoon and she dug right in!

Homemade yellow cake with lemon curd filling!

What a special day to celebrate our sweet baby girl.  She is our treasure and brings us so much joy.  Happy Birthday darling Blaire!

These paper lanterns were from our wedding almost ten years ago.  Full circle.
