Party wishes and dreams
If the day had of been raining and cold the joy would still have been there, but we were completely blessed with the most beautiful of days. To make the day perfect, our cricket was surrounded by all of her friends and family which made for much joy! Now that the decorations are down and the festivities are cleaned up, we are loving going through all the pictures and watching the fun videos! Enjoy!!

The best part of the day was by far the cake! Not only was it to die for YUMMY but it was also fun to watch the cricket enjoy her first ever bit of sugar and discover the joys of making a mess. God is good!!
Another part of the celebration was for guests to make donations to their favorite charities in lieu of gifts and we were so excited to see some of the charities people donated to in our crickets name. Here's a few...
A day to remember forever and always!

Looks like a perfect day! Cricket is just too cute!
Wonderful! I love that y'all did donations in lieu of gifts.
What a cute birthday party. Her cake is stunning!
Looks like you both had a great birthday! We too had thought about doing donating to our favorite charities in lieu of gifts for Emi's birthday but didn't. I regret it because we have stuff that we don't have room for. I think we'll do it next year or at least give it as an option.
Jennifer is so very, very cute. I can imagine why you just want to kiss her sweet cheeks all day!
Loved every second of the video!!!
Especially the discussion at the end of who was going to teach her Algebra!!! LOL!!
Such a wonderful First Birthday party for Jennifer and I'm sure one of your most special Birthday's yet...
Happy Birthday Momma & Cricket...
Love to you all...
XOXO
Also loved the video...the Cricket is a little sweetheart. I remember Grace being that age so well!
Also loved how you asked for the guests to make donations instead of giving gifts. Great idea.

I love how Cricket is more interested in the flower than the cake. :o)

Soooo sweet!
Love the in Leu of gifts idea!
I just LOVED watching the video and the smilebox...what a TREAT...felt like I was there.
I love all your little touches, the lanterns, the 1 tee shirt, the adorable tutu and chucks...the gifts for the guests and the wonderful idea of donations in lieu of gifts. You thought of it all.
And that cake...oh, well...I think I put on 20lbs just looking at it. Loved the ladybug theme.
What a gorgeous day you had to celebrate your angel's very first year.
Happy Birthday, Jennifer and many, many more!
I LOVE the "What's going on" look she's throwing at everyone as the singing started!
And the cake!!!!!! OH MY!!! A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!
I have a friend that has a cake business...she makes BEAUTIFUL cakes, like this one! In March she made a bowling alley cake for mySamuelson and this month a kitten on a ball of yarn for Miss Gracie! The talent it takes to pull these decorative cakes off....
But back to birthday girl! ;)
LOVE the 1 tutu!!! You have a Hope Chest? That's def. a keeper!
Felt like I was there...thanks to the video. Thanks ssoooo much for including it. Was wonderful to put your voice with your pic, see the joy on the faces of the many of people who love Cricket, and to watch the expressions move across her face.
XOXOXO :)
