One

My baby is one, y'all.  ONE.   I really can't believe it.

Sugar crash happens quick.  We went from this...

...to this in no time at all.

We said we weren't going to have a big birthday bash.  We said we were just going to do a cupcake or two and have some family over.  We weren't going to be those parents that went crazy for a birthday party that the recipient will never remember.  Um, yeah.  We partied our tails off this weekend.  I'm exhausted.

I had some really grand plans for the birthday party considering we weren't going to do anything big.  It just sort of snowballed.  I didn't get to do everything I wanted to, but I sure did have fun decorating for the party.  I made some garland by sewing card stock circles together, one after the other.  A friend made a bunch of those tissue paper poufs.  I bought a few things at Hobby Lobby.  I had a table for dyeing Easter eggs and a huge spread for all the party guests.  Aaaand, I didn't think to take a single picture of the set up until the party was long over.  It was Pinterest-worthy, I promise ;)  You'll just have to trust me.  This is just the aftermath.

I did want to share the banner I made with pictures from baby Jane's first year.  I was pretty proud of it when it was finished.  I had a photo from each month, including a few half-month pics.  I mounted each photo on a piece of card stock and then cut some triangles from scrap booking paper to look like bunting.  I have to say that it was pretty cute.  I think I may just have to keep it up for a while.  I may have enjoyed it more than any of the party guests.

Between birthday and Easter this weekend, baby Jane may just expect cake every night.  Hope you all had a happy Easter!
