A first birthday party

Earlier this week we helped with a party for a little friend named Piper who turned one!!! I was pretty impressed with how well it came along considering the short amount of time it was put together! I (sort of) helped with the decorations but I mostly ended up keeping the babies busy (I couldn't have been happier than I was covered in two babies ... does that sound weird?) Of course I had to bring my camera along so here are some photos from this lovely little gathering 

pretty little birthday girl!
I made this little fox pillow for Piper for her birthday. I'll be making Avery one too seeing as she kept looking at it!
watching the little ones interact and build friendships, doing their own things seriously makes my heart melt!
poor Piper! Every single strand was standing on end!
you know it was a good party when towards the end all babies took turns laying down on the ground going "night night"
 Thank you Mary, Zack and Piper for a lovely evening, the party turned out beautifully glad we lucky enough to be apart of it!

I have to admit I've already been thinking about Avery's second birthday for at least a month now. After attending this party in comparison to Avery's first birthday I'm definitely thinking small is the way to go! Much less hectic, crazy and stressful more intimate, relaxed and fun! I'm excited for Avery's upcoming birthday party but how about we just throw a party without the part where my baby turns TWO YEARS OLD!!

 p.s. Avery was featured on MINe style blog as one of their Fashion Friends the other day! Check out the post here! The ladies behind Min_estyle are so kind and have their own little fashionistas too! Check out the rest of their blog if your into mini fashion!

A first birthday party!

So here are Avery's first birthday pictures!! (finally!)
Better late than never right? ;)

Oil Pan chalk board that had all of Avery's birth stats! (Thanks JenlovesKev for the DIY)

 Birthday cakes! Made them myself! Made the middle one ombre in shades of mint to teal to give guests a little surprise, matched Avery's dress... yes I'm silly like that!

My grandma made this for Avery I had one when I was little too!

Cake time!! She loved all the attention while we sang to her, laughed and clapped and yay-ed (?) the whole time!!

Looks promising!


Not so sure about it..
 and not liking the frosting! Definitely does not get that from momma!

 Yay!! (while proudly clapping hands)


 Oh how I love her!!

"Cheeeesseee!"
 Look she's as big as me!

 Her poor bandaged foot that took us to the ER and post-poned her party by a day.


 Baby and Poppa can match now!

 Avery literally took off with the walker we got her (even though she wasn't supposed to be walking shhh..) wish we would've caught it on video!! Too cute!

 The center of attention!

 and riding back to the party!

A few other adorable shots 





Grandpa, Auntie and uncle!

Four generations!



 The banner that has stayed up that I made from a little golden book

The next morning was a blast playing with new things!

and to end with my favorite picture of Avery and I from the party!
