Our Sweet Girl’s First Birthday Party!

Today is Julia’s first birthday! We celebrated on Saturday with an “explosion of pink and purple” as Chris called it ;). As you can see, Miss Julia Rose LOVED her first cupcake :).

There were plenty of other yummy treats besides the rose-topped cupcakes.  We also served heart-shaped sandwiches, pink lemonade and strawberries with pink fruit dip. I even found the PERFECT little mints for party favors, which looked like polka-dots and matched the party colors too!

Julia’s face totally lit up when we all sang “Happy Birthday” to her – so adorable! She looked really cute in the birthday hat, outfit and tutu I made for her :)!

Her tutu is so puffy that we had to bunch it up behind her so she could crawl :).

I had an absolute blast making all the froufrou party decorations! Hopefully I will get a chance to share some great links and tutorials for some of these fun projects in a future post.

I will leave you with a photo of one of the birthday gifts from my parents – could this BE any more perfect for the party? Pink, polka-dots, roses and even a tutu!!!
