- EVERLY'S 1st BIRTHDAY PARTY -

I'm happy to finally share pictures of our baby girl's 1st birthday party.  We had so much fun celebrating with our friends and family.  It was a morning full of fun, food, and lots of laughs.

 The tables were decorated with arrangements gathered in mason jars.  I spray painted cardboard numbers with gold glitter.  Each table had different framed pictures of Everly's first year.  And the star confetti we sprinkled around the arrangements isn't pictured below but was such a sweet touch to tie in the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star theme.

My sister made all the kids star shaped rice crispy treats.  She dipped them in pink chocolate and drizzled pink icing on them.  They were so good! 

We had a table set up just for the kids where they had the chance to color and decorate their own party hats.  It turned out to be a huge hit.

I had so much fun working with Alisha from Dalisha's Desserts designing Everly's cake.  It turned out perfectly!

We served brunch for the guests- sausage balls, fruit, cinnamon rolls, yogurt, bagels, muffins, quiche, and all the kids got to carry around snack cups filled with gold fish and cheerios.

 Everly absolutely loved visiting with all the kids! She was having so much fun running around the room with everyone.  It was a fight to get her to slow down to open presents and eat her cake.

After everyone ate and visited with the birthday girl we let her dig in to her first birthday cake.  She poked around on it for a while squishing the icing in between her fingers.  But she eventually picked up the slices and started chowing down.

All in all I would say after seeing this smile on baby girl's face, I think the party was a success.  This right here is what it's all about.

We had so much fun and were blessed with all the wonderful company of our friends and family.  The most important thing to me was to surround Everly with lots of love and laughs on her special day and that was definitely accomplished.  Thank you all so much! And thank you to my sister-in-law, Ally, with A Love for Photography for taking these pictures for us!
