Party Recap...
We chose a Barbie themed birthday for our little one year old. She has a vintage/shabby chic themed room with 2 Robert Best barbie prints. The idea was to create something girly and sweet by using shabby chic decorations, while still having it feel fun and Barbie-ish. Guests came in and could take photos in the photo booth while listening to French music. Then could grab some sweets from the dessert table. And look at the memorabilia on the walls and in the scrapbooks that were laid out. Then travel to the backyard to eat some French themed food. Kids could meet Barbie (my sis in law dressed up) and do some activities. We did the whole cake thing- she cried the whole time. Too tired. Opened presents! She perked back up for that. :) And then sent guests home with some sweets! Fun day.
Party Highlights
Best Moment
Singing happy birthday! A room filled with people who love her. It was in that moment I realized my little baby was really turning 1!
Most Touching Moment
Watching her take pictures with all of her grandparents & great-grandparents- what a lucky girl!
Funniest Moment
Placing her in the highchair to watch her dive into her cake. Everyone was in suspense waiting for a really cute moment to happen. And nothing. Just cries. Couldn't help but just laugh and get her out of the highchair.
Best Dressed
The birthday girl of course :)
