The "theme" of Vivian's First Birthday Party was all her favorite things.
We served adult versions of the things she loves. My uncle was so generous and created the two signs you see throughout the pictures. I didn't get too into the decorations since our house is so small, I figured nobody would even notice them with a full house. But the food was a hit. Here was the menu, with her favorite things in caps:
HAM sandwiches
PUFFS spinach and artichoke puff pastries
SWEET POTATO chips
APPLE chutney, cheese and crackers
VEGGIE TALES tray
PUPPIES chow
PEEK-A-BOO peppermint cookies
Here are the ladies that really helped to pull it off.
Birthday Girl being entertained by Cousin Molly before the guests arrived!
Showing off her Birthday Dress and her walking toy.....and no she's not walking just yet. Getting closer, but not quite ready to let go yet.
The "Thank You" table, which included two of Vivian's favorite things....hershey KISSES and BATHS salt
Then it was time for cake...patiently waiting...
The end result before the much needed bath....
Vivian hit the birthday jackpot and received tons of wonderful things.
It all resulted in a very tired girl.
She enjoyed riding her wagon the next day with all the party trash...actually a nice perk for her Dad :)
You are so creative, Courtney! The pics are adorable, and it goes without saying, but you are so beautiful. What a gorgeous family! (Sorry, I'm sappier now that I've had a baby)
