*WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD! NO REALLY!
My little lady is officially a one year old. We wanted to make sure that her first birthday was a great one! I obviously know she isn't going to remember her first birthday, but still, I wanted to make the day special. I will remember how fun of a day it was with friends and celebrating all day.
We were a little concerned that the party might not actually happen. The day before, June woke up with a pretty good fever and it stayed steady at 102.6 for the day. I was a mess the whole day, just wanting her to feel better. So we did all that we could and she woke up the next morning with a new little tooth, and a much happier face. She still had a little bit of a fever but not nearly as high. So we celebrated her birthday as planned. We started the day off with her favorite breakfast waffles and eggs and then spent the morning getting ready for her birthday party.
BIRTHDAY GIRL
June's Party 2:00pm
The Decorations
A lot of time was spent planning her birthday party. Her First Birthday theme was "Oh the Place's She'll Go" It's based off of where she will travel throughout the world over the years of her life.
I wrapped her gifts in maps and curly string. We got her a Zony Zoo play set, which she loves, a new outfit and a sterling silver bracelet that hopefully she will wear for a long time.
Dan Gave June flowers just from him.
June's Birthday Cake, Dan made it all by himself! Frosting and all!
June sat under a globe with "Oh the Place's She'll go" on it
Treats for our guests were Sugar Queen Cupcakes. They are such amazing cupcakes! And they had edible glitter on some of them! On top of the cupcakes we placed little globes on each one. Except for the cherry topped ones.
Each Drink was wrapped with a part of the map. All Texas of course. The table was also wrapped in a map of Texas
The world map on the wall was really fun. We had everyone write their names on all the places that they decided to go. It was really fun to see who has been where and what they were doing there. It's a great little keepsake for June's Birthday and to remember who was all there.
Little treats along with the cupcakes. Salt water taffy, animal cookies and cheese popcorn.
Everyone was so generous and we had so much fun seeing all the fun girly things for the little lady.
Cake and Happy Birthday Singing
This was my favorite part. No one knows, well I guess you do now, but at this moment I was fighting back tears. It was just such an overwhelming feeling of love and celebrating this little girl with loved ones around singing to her was so great. It really meant a lot.
She was hesitant about her cake. She loved the frosting and the sprinkles, and liked playing in her cake, but as far as eating it, only a few bites were taken.
The end result
June's Guests
We have some great friends, who really have become our family away from home. We really are so grateful for them and all they do for us.
Krista and her little man Dean, and Mary!
June's little zoo was a hit with the kids!
Sean and Mckenna and their little girl Henacy
Phil the Geologist... along with Dan the Geologist
Balloons are such a huge hit with children. The U.S. is like on a Helium ban right now, so I was worried there wouldn't be balloons, but thankfully we found a store that still had helium.
Mary with her son Liam, Me and June, and Krista with Dean. These girls are the greatest. We met in college back in Waco when we were all childless and now we all have kids and Mary has baby #2 on the way! We are so fortunate to have life long friends like them!
Adam, yet another Geologist! But first and fore most a Baylor Grad with Dan. It's been really fun seeing lots of our friends from waco start moving up to Dallas. It's so great!
You can tell that June has just about had it. She was so good through her party but at this point she was exhausted and her fever was starting to come back.
Birthday Dinner
After we said goodbye to everyone and June went down for a much needed nap, June was feeling better and so we took her for a birthday dinner to The Rainforest Cafe. June Loved it. She couldn't take her eyes off of all the animals! It definitely was the right place to take her.
To end the night we bought June special bubble bath. She has never had a bubble bath before and we thought this would be the perfect time to do it. She had lots of fun with her new bath toys and popping the bubbles. It was the longest bath she has ever taken without crying to get out!
