We celebrated Chia's first birthday party a couple weeks ago with our parents and siblings. It was a very intimate, very casual party, but I still felt like I needed to bust my butt and make it perfect for my princess. Lesson learned: Lucia will never remember her first birthday and all of the special details I put into it. Therefore, don't stress out about first birthdays anymore. You'd think I would have already learned this from Josiah's party, right? After celebrating all of our birthdays in the last three months (Mine: March 22, Joe's: April 4, Josiah's: April 21, Chia's: May 30), I'm pretty sure we're going to lump them all together next year into one party. We're partied out.
Any-who, this was our last shibang I had to host for the summer, so it was fun getting together and celebrating my girl's first year of life with our immediate family. We made some really special memories and enjoyed watching the kids interact with all of their grandparents in the same room. We loved spoiling our Birthday Girl with kisses, new toys, and her very first cupcake. And although she may never remember her special day, it will be a day we will treasure forever.
That, and watching her brother play with her new baby dolls was pretty precious, too.
So cute! It's a sweet reminder of when my two older kids were the ages of your two. We were looking at their scrapbooks this weekend and my daughter was in awe. "Tyler must have really loved me!" now they are At that obnoxious bickering stage. ;)
ReplyDeleteAw, love it! :) & I know what you mean about lots of birthdays close together; the husband & I got married in October, and we've seriously had AT LEAST 2 birthday every month. 4 in August! It's crazy! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are a champion. And Chia's dress is the cutest thing I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful party! Good job!
ReplyDeleteI've done two big parties for Ava's birthdays these past two years, and I think next year I just want a small quiet gathering at home with family. trying something new.
It was just so cute!!!! I love how everything turned out! I'm "planning" to go low key for Zoey's first...but I doubt that will happen ;)
