Charlotte Turns One!

Here is the post you've been waiting for!
(For which you've been waiting??)
Sorry mom
 
Charlotte's First Birthday!
Be prepared for photo overload!
 
The theme I, we, I went with started with a color palette and transformed into an awesome Tea Party!
I am sooooo overwhelmingly happy with how everything turned out!
And, the most important thing - EVERYONE had fun!
 
 
 
I made a chalkboard poster of Charlotte's stats for the front door
 
 
 
We had fun (I think? Well, I did!) making the decorations,
planning the food, and setting everything up.

 
Finger Sandwiches and Sweet Treats
Charlotte's Birthday Hat
Birthday Banner. Found the CUTEST Tea Party
Themed Paper to make these!
Drink station with Countdown board
Grow With Me Wall
Pictures from each month
 
Love the Pink Poms!
Spoiled Kid I tell ya!

Charlotte woke up from her nap ready to PAR-TAY!!
Hey! Who are all these people!?
Just a little shy
Happy Daddy!
You're kidding me with this hat thing, right?

She spent time with everyone who came.
I Am One!
I'd rather chew on the bow anyway
 
Nope Grandma, not going to do the headband thing.

No bow in my hair please.
Gramuffie & Papa
Ya, we'll see how long this hat thing lasts...

Then it was time for CAKE!!
Ok, so I wanted to make a cake that looked like this:
 
 
But, come to find out, you need Buttercream and NOT Whipped icing to make it do that.
 
The icing started melting halfway through.
I guess whipped cream loses its form if it gets hot.
 
Oh well, she didn't know...
 
Ok, I'm ready!
What's happening?
 
Happy Birthday Buggie!
 
I love her face in this one.
Such a sweet angel.
What am I supposed to do?
You're kidding me, right??
 
First time for sugar and she was amazed!
 
Make a Wish!
Awesome!
I can really do this?!

Demolished it!
Happy Birthday Baby
 
Finally it was time for presents and wind down.
Time for a Birthday Bath
Daddy's little Bat Girl
Happy Birthday Girl
Little Tutu
Selfie!
 
 
She was a trouper, didn't cry once!
 
 
Happy Birthday our Dear, Sweet, Angel Baby.
You are the most beautiful thing on this Earth!
We love you more than Tutus, Tea Parties, Cake and Candles!!
