happy birthday sweet Lucy



Our sweet Lucy turned two yesterday and we had a little brunch in her honor to celebrate. It was wonderful being surrounded by all her family and friends and it was evident she soaked up and relished every minute of it. I really enjoy putting together these parties, they're like my love letters to her even if she doesn't remember them she'll always have the photos. So with that, get ready for one photo heavy post! Our working theme involved ballerinas and the colors blue and cream/white, silver and gold. 










I used my silhouette cameo to do all the ballerina themed cutouts and different banners.



The kids at the party each received a ball jar snow globe to take home. The girls got ballerinas and the boys, army men. 












The ballerina hanging garland was easy to make using a simple straight stitch on the sewing machine. 









I found the vintage birthday figurine on Ebay.













Singing Happy Birthday


The kids made and decorated paper crowns.


*36 weeks pregnant and smiling through pure exhaustion- I think I fell asleep on the couch at 9 pm last night- very early for me!


who doesn't love present time?




after we got home from dinner last night it was time to play with everything- all at once of course!



My favorite part was when she put her new Felicity doll from Grandma on her new pony from Mimi . Watching her imagination really starting to take off is exciting. Two will be a great year!



Happy Birthday Princess! You are very, very loved! 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

*note of course my mom and dad were both there but I know better than to  post pictures of my mom- she would kill me lol!

lucy turns 1

Lucy girl had an amazing 1st Birthday party yesterday! I had so much fun planning and putting it together for her. She had a great time partying it up with her family and friends and I think a good time was had by all. The party had a home made shabby chic ultra girly feel. 



homemade french vanilla smash cake with tiny bunting on skewers





handmade birthday bunting hung on the mirror- i used scrapbook paper to make it



a painters drop cloth from Sherwin Williams served as the perfect table covering



i utilized a lot of my antique jars and china on the tablescape



l-o-v-e the wilton ruffle cupcake wrappers



Lucy loved everyone singing to her



the red velvet cupcakes were a hit!



after a little coaxing Lucy finally got into her cake



i made her tutu to match the light pink and teal blue color scheme



time for an outfit change



to my delight she left that hat on for a good while- she didn't really seem to care



lots of fun birthday cards and presents









I made a little timeline in the hall by cutting out pictures of Lucy's first year. I glued them into coffee filters that I dip died with food coloring.


we sent our guests home with some home made sugar cookies. we had been saving her formula cans for months to have the right amount. 



the birthday girl had a blast!
