We celebrated our sweetie's first birthday with all the flowery, pink trimmings - keeping with the theme of her entire first year of life. ;) I had high hopes of being able to throw her a party in our own backyard, but in true mid-July fashion, it was just too hot! So we moved the party indoors, invited all of our family members and filled everyone up after lunch with sweet treats, pink champagne and punch... and of course... cake.
Tim and Deanne have had this vintage high chair for quite some time, and my vision of using it for Kaitlyn's smash cake chair worked out perfectly. I took some flowery garland that I already had on hand from her bedroom decor, wrapped it around the side of the chair, threw on a banner, and we were good to go!
We timed her party for in between her morning and afternoon naps, and it worked out pretty well. She was mostly overwhelmed by the attention and the amount of people in our home, but was a good sport through it all. She watched as her brother's opened her presents for her, wore her dress like a princess, and eventually... dove right into that cake of hers. :)
Top gifts included this cute little car buggy from Papa Tim and Nana Deanne... (she loves strolling through the neighborhood in this - cup holders, front trunk storage and all!)...
...and this specially made Disney Princess book with her name on it from Papa Bob and Nana Nancy.
She wasn't so sure about the cake at first, but once she got it - she really got it! ;)
Couldn't pick just one or two pictures!
Love you dearly, punkin!
