October. Our baby girl’s first birthday. It’s party time. Make a wishlist. Pick a theme. Find a venue. Order everything. Buy the smash cake. Decorate the smash cake. Order the party dresses. Borrow an air pump from the neighbors. Blow up the balloons. Visit craft stores for the perfect candy board. Trash the kitchen making treats for the party. Every thing has to be PERFECT for our little girl’s first birthday. It HAS TO BE.

We’ve worked so hard to have this precious little lady perfectly made for us. To celebrate her first year was something so special to me and the people that love her dearly, I wanted this day to be perfect.

So here it is, a small glimpse into our preparations, the party day, and her cake smash photos.

It was an entire week of making memories. Yes, of course SHE won’t remember any of this, but momma, daddy, and the rest of her friends and family sure will. I couldn’t have done a single bit of this without the help of our amazing family and friends stepping in to lend a helping hand, a few dollars here and there, and mostly, their love.

To everyone who made our little girl’s first birthday so special, I want to send out my sincerest gratitude. Her birthday is always going to be special, but one day, she’ll look back at these photos and see her first friends. She’ll see the family that drove HOURS to celebrate with her. She’ll see the smiles on our faces and know without a doubt that she’s loved by so many people.

THANK YOU!!

Here’s to our little girl, she’s perfect in every way.
Happy Birthday, Adalyn.
