A Busy but Great Weekend

We had a super busy and activity filled weekend but it couldn't have been better.

The Final Touches re: First Birthday

I am so dissapointed and upset with myself because I did not take a pic of the cupcake cake at all :(

Polka Dots Continued

Well the preparations continue strong. I am slowly but surely getting this stuff together and am quite proud of myself. I've almost completed the "happy birthday" banner and the cupcake decorations. I've even got Jordyn practicing how to crawl in her tutu!!!!

Poka dots everywhere

Slowly but surely I'm preparing for Jordyn's first birthday party! I cannot wait. I have already mailed out the invites and had some replies! I'm so excited to be able to do all the planning. I have been cutting out enough dots to make even the spottiest of dalmations jealous and can't wait to put them all together!

Hopefully this week I'll be able to get more done as the two little ones were sick and now it has hit me.

Thankfully wedding season is almost over as well ;) Obviously not, but it has been a very busy month and that has taken up lots of time.

I have my last one today and then I can get on to some serious first birthday preparations!!!!

This is how it looks so far though.

Planning, Planning, Planning

I have been looking forward to this event for a year now. The wonderful "First Birthday Party!"
If I could rent a hall and invite everyone we know with a caterer, a decorator, a live band and cake to die for I would. However, seeing as how that is just a tad bit unrealistic I have decided to take it upon myself to make it a party of a lifetime but at a much smaller scale.
I have designed the invites, picked a theme and started cutting out decorations. I have drafted up the guest list with as many friends as a one year old could possibly have and decided on a menu!
Because of the theme I have chosen I can do a lot of home made crafty type projects (which we all know are NOT my forte) however I am super excited and have already started. As a matter of fact the theme I have chosen is so simple that I am actually enjoying it!
Anyway, as I get farther ahead in the planning and the preparing I will post pics. For now though you just have to listen to me ramble ;)
