Annabelle's birthday was so much fun to plan! I love planning parties for little kids - it's so much fun for me. I love making my girls' invitations and cakes/cupcakes, however simple things are! I was so happy to have my sister and niece to help me out. I made these cute little cookies - and then my sister glazed and decorated them - they were lovely. But then completely forgot to get a picture. I'm going to depend on my sister and hope she has some pictures. For now, this is what fun things we did for Annie's party day.
Cute, simple invitations. I used pink card stock that had raised polka-dots on it and made two invites per page. Then cut down the middle and added a sparkly cupcake to the top. Easy peasy.
Party bags - to fill with candy. All the little girls received a hair barrette that I made and our one little prince @ the party received funny glasses and harmonica. Party bags were from a party store - then I printed out labels. Added a lollipop sticker and wa-la! Cuteness!
Sweet central! Candy bar!
A variety of candy - plus cinnamon/sugar mixture for the Mommas
Banner idea came from Martha Stewart online - tissue pom poms also came from Martha - however, I learned of them second hand from a friend. All super easy!
MMMMM! Cake! I love making my girl's cakes. I know my sister got a shot of it - but the inside was a zebra pattern.
Cousins!

Sissy stepped in to help a little bit.
Then Eloise jumped in! Then Karah - which I didn't have a shot of....but I know my sister does!
Love my sis - here she is with Annie-banannie
Opening presents - look at that red face! Gotta' use natural red dye next time!
More presents and party girls in the back!
What a fun time! I'm so excited and already planning Lucy's birthday.
All in all - we were thrilled to just enjoy celebrating our sweet little girl with beautiful friends. Once I have pics uploaded we'll show the birthday girl on her TRUE first birthday!
We love you, Annabelle Kate!
