Our three girls in their coordinating outfits

It was a one year old birthday party, so the best moment was watching our little girl dig into her cake! She made a complete mess!

What People Ate
Turkey, Ham and Chicken Salad Sandwiches, Italian Pasta Salad, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with Pita Chips, a Veggie Tray, a Fruit Tray and for the kids, Cheeseballs of course!

Most Touching Moment
Singing "Happy Birthday" to our little girl

Funniest Moment
Getting the kids to lay down on the ladybug wings chalk drawing - they weren't quite sure what to make of it.

Sarabeth's First Birthday: A Ladybug Picnic
We celebrated our little Sarabeth's birthday with a ladybug picnic theme. After having three girls, I wanted to do something other than "pink all over" but it still managed to creep in here and there!

It's a petti romper I bought off eBay believe it or not! Here's the seller: http://myworld.ebay.com/boutiqueitems/. I didn't see where she had these anymore, but maybe if you contact her. She did have some cute leg warmers and a ruffled diaper cover in the ladybug dots. Good luck with your party!

Oh, and I made the hat. Just used fabric from Hobby Lobby and some spray adhesive to stick it to a hat from the $1 store. Hot glued the feathers on, easy!

The containers came from the $ section at Target, the live ladybugs from a local plant nursery. They were a HUGE hits with the kids and the parents!

Ok, now this is adorable too! Where did you find this?

Stephanie, I made them with scrapbook paper, hats from the Dollar Tree and spray glue. The ladybugs were cut out with my Silhouette machine. They were easy to make!
