[A BIG thank you to Mrs. Bridget, Mommy's friend, and her husband, Mr. Ryan, for taking some fabulous pictures at my party! It really helped Mommy out so she could enjoy the day! We appreciate it!]
My birthday party was originally scheduled for Labor Day Weekend, but Mommy and Daddy had to reschedule it because of Tropical Storm Lee. It's okay though, because as you've seen through the other posts by Bubby's written, I got to have lots of little celebrations! But this Saturday was, as Bubby called it, my "big party"! Mommy and Daddy, with help from Grangie and Paw-Paw, and of course my Bubby, worked hard to give me a great party! And it was just that. It was fantastic!
Grangie and Paw-Paw bought a bunch of decorations a while back in anticipation of my first birthday party. They looked great hanging around our house! Everything was so festive and girly! Just like me. ;)
Mommy brought my little pink chair into the living room. I'm pretty sure this is my throne, but Mommy doesn't like princess-y stuff, so we'll just say it was my present opening spot. (Shh! Don't tell Mommy!) It was pretty cute there, banner and balloons and all, so I felt pretty special! Daddy and Bubby chose the balloons for me that morning, so of course Bubby gave me some green balloons mixed in.
Mommy's not real big on fluffy or frilly stuff, but she's starting to come around. She tries to get me to wear bows in my hair, but I always pull them out. It makes everyone laugh so much, so it's just a game for me. But when Mommy took me shopping for a few more party supplies, Mrs. Erin joined us and put this little hat on me. I liked it, so Mommy got it! It is pretty cute!
The plates Mommy chose were so cute. And so appropriate because she made me the cutest little cupcakes!
Bubby made this sign for me on my actual birthday last weekend, and he insisted that we save it for my party. It's been hanging in our living room all week. I made sure Mommy gave it a special place of prominence at my party. After all, Bubby made it for me!
Cupcakes... oh, glorious cupcakes! They were all so cute! Pearls and butterflies and flowers and ladybugs.... chocolate and vanilla..... purple and pink.... all perfect!
Mommy says you can't have a Southern birthday party without some good ole Blue Bell Ice Cream... it's a Southern staple... and it's de-lish! Love this picture!
My birthday cake, the one you'll see me smash up in a later post, was a ladybug! Mommy did such a great job. I love the giant "1" candle next to it! The table of desserts was so cute... tons of cupcakes, my cake, and a big silver tub of ice cream cups!
And the food. We had chicken strips from Raising Canes (with their addictive sauce, of course!), asparagus roll sandwiches (Thanks, Aunt Barbara!), chicken salad and pimento cheese sandwiches (Thanks, Grangie, Paw-Paw and Aunt Emmy for helping make all the sandwiches!), a veggie tray, and several chips and dips. (Thanks Poppa for the drinks.) It was all so yummy!
So that was the food.... More from the party to come!
