This past weekend we had Anna's 1st Birthday Party! This was by far my favorite theme I've done for a birthday party so far because it was so girly, pretty and NOT in the winter! :)
I had a blast panning my decorations and looking through pinterest for hours upon hours once everyone was sleeping. I decided on a garden-type theme, but with magenta, green, white and orange.
For the menu we decided on chicken salad on croissants, pasta salad, macaroni salad, deviled eggs, sweet bologna and cream cheese, pretzels, pita chips, ring bologna and cheese, veggies and ranch dip, fruit salad, and cake.
About 30 people came and it wound up being all little girls, a perfect group for a sweet little girl's first birthday!

After a quick bath by Daddy, Anna opened her presents with lots of help from her big sisters and friends! She got lots of beautiful outfits, headbands and some great new toys!

We then headed for a walk to our local park to let the kids run and play. After all the sugar and being inside, it was SUCH a beautiful evening to be outside and play! They girls had a blast playing with their cousin and friends.
Happy Birthday Anna!
