We had Emma's first birthday party this past Saturday at my mom's house.
We had family and close friends come to the party. Emma was a ladybug for her first Halloween and we call her bug, so we thought it would be cute to do her first birthday in a ladybug theme. We had red, black, and red and black polkadot balloons by the mailbox. As you walked up the sidewalk to the front steps there were bright yellow flowers with ladybug figures in the flowerpots and a cute sign that some sweet friends gave us after she was born.
We had red balloons with "Emma" written on them.
We had red with black polkadot fabric on two tables with several figurines and pictures.
I did a picture line of pictures of each month from her first year.
My mom made chili and potato soup which was amazing! We ate and then let Emma (or myself) open gifts in her ladybug dress before we changed her into her smash cake outfit. She got a lot of cute clothes, money, some cute monogrammed items, and the cutest chair from OJan, Scott, and I. She loved sitting in the chair.
She tickled us by playing peek-a-boo during her present time.
Then we changed her into her ladybug shirt and polkadot leg warmers for her cake which we just knew she was going to smash and get everywhere.
She pinched at it like a little lady and barely made a mess.
I did still give her a bath and once people started leaving, Aunt Brittany went to rock her. It didn't take long at all before Emma crashed and had a good nap.
It was a great party! So hard to believe we have already had her first birthday party.
