Sara Turns One

This past Saturday was Sara's 1st birthday. Wow, did that year fly by! We had a small family party for her, with the theme, Pink Princess. And of course, I went all out with decorations and food! I made cupcakes with tiara toppers, and Sara's smash cake, also adorned with a little tiara and macarons, with pretty pink frosting! Totally fit for a little princess! Also on the menu were macarons, candy, and hor d'oeuvres.

Nice Spread!

I decorated our kitchen and breakfast area with pink streamers, pink candles, balloons, and an adorable pink frilly tutu for Sara's throne (high chair!) And the cutest little pink crown for the birthday girl! I've always been into decorating and design, and I was quite happy with the way everything turned out and looked!

Fit for a Princess!

We had my friend, Susan Fry from Heavenly Vision Photography over to shoot pictures for the event. I've seen a few of the previews, which are amazing, and I can't wait to see the rest! The rest of us took tons of pictures as well, and I'm sure you've already seen them on our facebook pages.

So Sweet!

Little Pink Princess!

First, we let Sara open her presents, which included a Little Tikes Trike, a pink palace playhouse, fit for a Princess, a Disney Frozen fold out chair, and some soft foam playmat blocks. Sara also got several cute new outfits, a pink teddy, and a Minnie Mouse grooming kit. She sure made out!

She likes her gifts!

I really like the way her playmat looks!

Next, we sang "Happy Birthday" to our Princess and let her dig into her little cake. At first she wasn't sure what to do with it. She looked at us like, "This is for me? I can have this?" She tasted the frosting, liked it, and then dug in! She made a big mess, but it was so cute and funny to watch!

For me?

What fun!

Sugar High!

After Mark and I got Sara all cleaned up, we put on Mary Poppins, and she played with her toys until she fell asleep. It was definitely a special day, and I'm already making plans for next year's big day!
