SUPER!!!!!!

Since all the family was in town for Avery's party, and Jackson's follows in three weeks, we decided to celebrate Jackson's birthday while everyone was here. We just threw a small party with the grandparents and some close friends.

Jackson got the best present EVER from his grandparents, he calls it "SUPER!"

Avery in Wonderland!!!

Well, this past weekend Avery went to Wonderland. The party was a complete success. The Mad Hatter was the most gracious host, and he seemed to be sweet on one of the guests too!!!! Avery had a wonderful time eating her three tier cake and visiting with friends and family. The only complaint I have is that I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted to, but it was more important to actually sit back and enjoy the party.

As you'll see, there were flowers galore, chocolate covered marshmallows stuck in an apothecary jar with Lemonheads, chocolate covered strawberries, pom pom garland, and an A that I decoupaged and dressed up with a flower, feathers, and pearls. Over on the left side of the table, you'll see an album on display. I made an Avery Volume 1 photo album that had pictures spanning over Avery's first year for guests to view.

Here are some pictures of the party dress in full and from the party:

1st Birthday Preparations

Well, my baby girl's first birthday is coming up fast. Over the past few weeks, I've been buying things here and there to decorate for her party. The theme is vintage Alice in Wonderland, so I've chosen fabrics and papers that have pastel color themes. I'm using pearls and rhinestones to accent each piece. I bought a beautiful vintage copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and plan on using the illustrations as artwork for the party. I'll be sure to take some pics of the book when it comes in the mail.
