I told my mom after the party that it was just like I always dreamt it would be... she said, "that's so lucky sday, most people never get to experience the things they dream about." It's true. Dang lucky.
I dreamt it and here's how it went down.
LADY TURNS 1
Kday's mom and I made a BAZILLION (150... well 145 after we each ate a few) cupcakes
Then we decorated them all fancy like. Some even had fresh homemade lemon curd and strawberry icing.
I made a bunch of these super easy Pom-Poms to hang in the trees
Like that. And we had lights in the sky hung... for ambiance
Then Kday left me with an hour before the party with a shiz load of work to do... so he could go get stitches. Read a little more about that awesome trick HERE. (ya, that purple stuff is muscle, and that cut is about 3 inches long)
Don't fret. He made it back in time and looked super cute.
After a little nap, diaper change and some dinner... Lady made an appearance at her party. She wore 3 outfits. First, her cupcake casual wear (worn throughout the day)
Second, her cupcake gingham dress (worn at the party pre-cake eating) that Grammy purchased months ago
Third, after wearing her birthday suit to eat cake in, she wore another cupcake number that Nana got her.
D-lishous slider burgers and sides were served.
And the Pinata was a HIT. Literally. Ha!
The kidlettes reaped the benefit of the pinata
We sang. I cried. What else is new?
Lady daintily tested her first sweets. Her very own gigantuan cupcake
A party isn't a PARTY without sparklers... and not one single burn
Lady tested out her new chair and watched the 10 min video montage we made documenting her first year.
We quite enjoyed the day
And I think Lady did too.
Hmmm.... Only 357 days 10 hours and 30 min to plan the next party.
I best get crackin

I am amazed, that looked like one rockin' party. James and I loved the videos...he thinks Layla is pretty cute :) (I do too, of course). and I want those cupcake and icing recipes, they looked amazing.
Layla was so cute and charming during her party!
