The Party


Here was the beautiful party set up for Chloe's first birthday party.  Decorating for this little shindig started about a month in advance.  I did however enjoy the wall paper made from wrapping paper in our dining room.  As you can see I went all out and it turned out beautiful.  The Sweet Shoppe theme was so cute and all the kids loved the loads of candy they got. 
 

All the kids shared her smash cake and it was sure delicious.  She didn't seem to mind at all.

Our attempt at a family picture...good luck with that one.
 
 

Presents were total chaos, good thing I had about 10 kids helping me open them.  And hopefully everything got written down correctly.  If not, thanks everyone for the wonderful and amazing gifts.  Our friends and family are so incredibly generous.  
 
 
 
 
 

All partied out!  It was a perfect party!

1 Year Old


How on Earth had this happened?  1, are you kidding me?  I sit and watch our baby girl playing and interacting with her brothers and can't believe my eyes.  I swear just yesterday she was born.  And look how stinkin' cute she is and what a beautiful little girl she had turned into over the year.
This picture below is seriously on of my favorites.  See that little scrunched nose, this is "Chloe" and she does this little nose scrunch all the time.


 I can't get enough of her.  She continues to be her super easy and laid back self.  I can't tell you how many times I have had to wake her up from her naps pretty much every day to go somewhere or she is carted around all day doing 'boy things' and she is still perfectly happy.  I am so blessed to have such an easy going baby.  Chloe is our 'little' baby.  She weighed in at 18 lbs 11 ozs and is 30 inches tall.  She really doesn't have much to say except mama when she is sad or wants something.  She is signing milk and all done.  She loves to eat and try to snatch her brothers' food.  She is a full blown toddler, walking everywhere.  I was really sad to see the bear crawl go, however, walking is super cute and it sure makes going places with 3 much easier.  

For pictures, I painted an antique high chair my mom has had for years and Aaron built a tray for it.  For the birthday party I made tons of tulle pompoms so I decided to incorporate them into the 1 year pictures and boy did they turn out perfect!  

I had to do a smash cake as part of the pictures and I'm sure glad I did.  The delicious cake was made by a friend here is her website.  The super cute bunting came from someone local that I found on Etsy.  I absolutely love doing this kind of over the top stuff.  It's really fun for me.  
 

Thanks to everyone that helped us celebrate our precious baby girl's 1st birthday.
Everything was perfect.
Happy Birthday Chloe, We love you so much!
