Ella's Birthday Party was something I planned for and anticipated for months! My BFF Nicki and I had so much fun putting our minds together long distance and planning this party together! She played a huge role in pulling off Ella's party...she made all the paper supplies for me, which tied everything together so nicely!! Thank you so much for all your help Nicki!! Ella's party was such an awesome memory!!
The cake table: my friend Amy and I took a beginner cake decorating class this past winter so that we could both make our babies' first birthday cakes! It was a lot of work, on top of making everything else, but it was also a lot of fun!!
So hard to believe our baby girl is one already!! She brings so much joy into our lives!
I made all these little buckets with balloons that were supposed to go on the tables outside, but it ended up being way too windy, so they ended up being scattered around the house.
Jeff and his mom took care of the food so I could concentrate on the decorations and desserts. It was a joint effort for sure. Also, my friend Amie made the beautiful fruit arrangement, and our friends the White's brought the veggie trays.
I had so much fun decorating for this party!!
So girlie!
Me and my baby girl. She was a little overwhelmed by how many people came over.
Some of the outside decorations. Yummy lemonade and strawberry lemonade. Nicki also made me some adorable personalized water bottle labels. She put so many personalized details into this party for me! Loved it!!
Ella's smash cake. She didnt get into it very much.....she mustv'e known 40 people were watching her! :o)
Getting into it a little....it was so bright outside!
Opening all her wonderful presents! Thank you everyone that came for all the generous gifts you brought Ella!
I love this picture of Ella! So cute!
I took one last picture of the cake before we cut it....hey, it was a lot of work to make! lol
The birthday girl all tired out from a super fun birthday party! Grandma gave her a bath and put in her jammies. Ella didn't even notice all the balloons in the house until everyone left. She had fun playing with them.
