Birthday Celebration!

Addison's birthday was the day before Easter, but we had her party on Good Friday so that it would be easier for family to attend.  I started preparing for her party months ago.  Since it was Easter weekend, I knew I wanted to do an "Easter" theme with pastal colors.  I have never really paid attention to Easter decorations before until now and there were some really cute things.  Every time I would go to Hobby Lobby, Wal Mart, Target or the Dollar tree I would walk out with something for her party or another idea.  I made most of her decorations thanks to Pinterest.  I made her birthday banner, banner with her 1-12 month pictures, the over sized pom-poms made out of tissue paper, Addie's birthday hat, her birthday shirt, her cupcakes and her smash cake.  I had a lot of fun making everything and saved a lot of money doing it, but boy am I glad that it is over.  

Her party was a great success and a lot of family and friends came to celebrate!  My friend's parents let us borrow a jump house for the older kids to use which was a big hit!  We cooked hot dogs, had an Easter egg hunt, opened presents and ate cake, which Addie loved!  We had so much fun celebrating her special day!  


Happy 1st Birthday, Addison!
