She woke up on her actual birthday and was feeling so much better. She had strep the week leading up to her birthday. This made for a crazy week. I assumed that I would have the entire week to focus on finalizing things for her party, but it ended up being a week of taking care of a very sick baby girl. Alex was sick too. She shared her strep with him. Bless his heart. Bless all of our hearts. It was a hard week!
My Mom & Dad came in a couple of days before the party to help out. This is Amelia the morning of her actual birthday. We were all singing Happy Birthday to her. She thought it was funny.
She received a couple of packages in the mail for her birthday. My sweet friend, Faith made her this adorable shirt! I just love it on her. Thank you, Faith!!
My blogging friend, Mel sent her a package with a play camera, two cute shirts, and these adorable tennis shoes! She was playing with the camera immediately. Thank you, Mel!!
I've been thinking about Amelia's first birthday, since before Amelia was conceived. (LOL) I love to throw a party. I've saved hundreds of pictures and had so many ideas. It was hard to narrow down what I wanted to do. I just knew that I wanted it to be colorful and to be a huge celebration of her life!
I found a picture on this party site a while back. This became my inspiration for her party.
This is the invite that my friend, Cyndie designed! I love how it turned out.
I remember reading on Kim's blog that she never regrets hiring a photographer for her children's birthday parties. I decided to do just that. Now that it's over, I don't know how I would have taken pictures of everything/everyone and been able to just enjoy Amelia. I'm waiting on pictures, but as soon as I receive them - I'll be sharing every bit of the party with you guys!! It was such a special day.
So more of Amelia's 1st birthday party to come!
Love to all,
