First Birthday Party

So this weekend was my little sweet baby's 1st birthday party.  It was such a fun day and she had an absolute blast!  She was surrounded by her loving family and friends and it could not have been more perfect. I am so thankful for everyone that helped in planning it including Aunt Heather with her Chick Fil A contributions for food, my sister Erika, Bao and especially my mom- could not have done it without her!  She even spent the night on Friday to help clean and set up the next morning.

We decided to go all-out for her first birthday party because, well, first birthdays are the most special of them all, besides her actual day of birth.  First birthdays mark a huge event, that you as a parent survived the first year and your child has made it from newborn, infant to toddler hood.  A major deal!  We wanted everyone that has been a large part of her life to be able to come and celebrate with us.

We decided on a Paris Theme- just like her nursery.  We had her family there that included grandparents, Aunts and cousins.  Then her little neighborhood playgroup friends came to celebrate and play. And then our close friends with babies and preschoolers came as well. So it was a full house! As much as we wanted even more of our friends and their children there to help celebrate, it was just too much for our Little Lu and we did not want to over stimulate her, so we apologize if you felt snubbed and did not get an invitation.  We still love ya :)

Thank goodness it didn't rain because we had a lot going on outside.  A pool/ball pit, playground, sidewalk chalk art, bubbles and a pinata for babies- complete with pull strings that did NOT work by the way. As usual the parents had to intervene and get the stuff to spill out of it :)

Luna LOVED being sung Happy Birthday in her high chair as she loves singing songs and the attention, but the actual cake part? Not so much.  She turned her nose up in the air and decided she was not going to have any part of the cake or icing. Which is a good thing.  Don't need to start any bad sugar craving, carb loving habits too soon.

My angel was then into meltdown mode after the cake and was needing a nap, as she got cranky fast!  After the guests left we opened her gifts with her and she was delighted at all of her goodies.  She received so many wonderful clothes, books and toys and we are very thankful to everyone!  She is not going to be hurting for toys to play with anytime soon. 

I'm thinking next year for Bday #2 we will pick a park venue, less hectic and no cleaning.  It's all about stress-free and low maintenance!  So glad she has a May birthday and we can move it to outside :)

We tried to get a photo of the last remaining babies, but I think that they had had enough!
