Miriam’s First Birthday Party
Bubbles and Butterflies
A Butterfly Birthday! The Invitation
For the cake, I made a strawberry lemonade cake (delicious!!) and I made four layers, alternating dark pink and light pink. It turned out beautifully!
Pretty poof balls I made from tulle as decoration for the party…I also hung some in her bedroom
Caleb begged to open all the presents for Miriam…he knew she was too young to do it! (Notice he has had a costume change; from superhero capes with bows and arrows to the captain hook pirate costume and camoflauge)
It took her awhile, but she figured out how to blow at the candle…and devour the cake!
The birthday girl with Auntie Elaine
What is a butterfly party without butterfly nets?
We hung festive springy paper lanterns from the Gazebo (April is a beatiful month for a little girls’ birthday!)
The flowers
A bib I made for the occasion, incorporating the color theme
Miriam’s very own cake
Awaiting the release of the butterflies
Caleb gets zealous about the butterfly catching. Incidentally, he was the only one that caught a butterfly. It got away quickly though.
A marshmallow fight
We had a bubble machine, a bubble pool (where the kids could stand inside a giant bubble!) We played with silly string, chased butterflies and had a marshmallow ‘snowball’ fight. It was loads of fun Happy first birthday little sweet potato!
