1 Year Photos!!

Ladies & Gentlemen.....SHE'S ONE!!!! 


 She couldn't figure out why the tutu was attacking her, but it was so cute.


So, we switched her to some shorts....she approved & turned on the charm.
I'm 1!


She loved the balloons!

A Sweet Celebration!!!

Despite having to take Ella to the doctor the morning of her party & being diagnosed with and ear infection, we still had a great time at her party!  She was such a trooper.  It's hard to believe she is already 1 but we have been so blessed.  She is happy, healthy, smart & funny....SO FUNNY!!

We wanted a small party, especially since she won't remember it anyway, but we wanted it to be cute and something she would enjoy looking back on.  We used a lot of vintage items from both my Grandmothers and the rest was homemade.  *Luckily we have been blessed with creative friends!*  I wish I would have taken more pictures, but here are some of the decorations.

The desert table with the quilt my grandmother made me as a backdrop

The balloon wreath I made (thanks Pinterest)

Ella's birthday banner

A pillow case that belonged to my Grandmother that Lacy made into a doll!  So cute!

Love cupcakes...

and pink cookies shaped like footballs with popcorn filled waffle cones.
Isn't that ruffle cake ADORABLE!?!?!?!

Party favors!

It's not a party without a pennant!

She didn't believe him...

She felt so bad, but she was trying!

We were able to celebrate with some wonderful family & friends!  We are so thankful for all those who have been there for us this past year as we've become a family of 3 and we can't wait to see what the future holds.
